FXN Gene Friedreich ataxia Genetic Test
Test Name: FXN Gene Friedreich ataxia Genetic Test
Components: DNA Labs UAE offers the FXN Gene Friedreich ataxia Genetic Test at a cost of 4400.0 AED.
Sample Condition: The test can be conducted using blood or extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Report Delivery: The test results will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
Method: The test utilizes NGS (next-generation sequencing) technology.
Test Type: The FXN Gene Friedreich ataxia Genetic Test is specifically designed to diagnose neurological disorders.
Doctor: The test is conducted under the supervision of a neurologist.
Test Department: The test is conducted in the Genetics department.
Pre Test Information: Prior to conducting the FXN Gene Friedreich ataxia NGS Genetic DNA Test, a clinical history of the patient is taken. Additionally, a genetic counseling session is conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with FXN Gene Friedreich ataxia.
Test Details: The FXN gene is responsible for producing a protein called frataxin. Mutations in this gene can lead to Friedreich ataxia, a rare genetic disorder that affects the nervous system and causes progressive difficulty with movement, coordination, and balance. NGS genetic testing is used to analyze the FXN gene and identify any mutations present. This type of testing provides a more comprehensive analysis compared to traditional sequencing methods, allowing for the detection of rare or novel mutations. Testing for FXN gene mutations helps diagnose Friedreich ataxia, informs treatment decisions, and can be used for carrier testing and prenatal diagnosis for families with a history of the disorder.
