The GBE1 Gene Glycogen Storage Disease Type 4 Genetic Test is a specialized diagnostic procedure available at DNA Labs UAE. This test is designed to detect mutations in the GBE1 gene, which are responsible for Glycogen Storage Disease Type 4 (GSD IV). GSD IV is a rare genetic disorder that affects the body’s ability to metabolize glycogen, a stored form of glucose, leading to its accumulation in various tissues, particularly the liver and muscles, causing severe complications.

The test involves collecting a DNA sample, typically through a blood draw or cheek swab, which is then analyzed in the laboratory for the presence of specific mutations in the GBE1 gene. The outcome of this test can provide crucial information for the diagnosis, management, and treatment planning for individuals suspected of having GSD IV or carriers of the gene mutation.

At DNA Labs UAE, this comprehensive genetic test is offered at a cost of 4400 AED. The price reflects the sophisticated technology and expertise required to accurately identify mutations in the GBE1 gene. Opting for this test at DNA Labs UAE ensures that individuals receive reliable results, guided by a team of professionals specialized in genetic disorders. This can be an invaluable step for affected families in understanding their condition, exploring treatment options, and making informed decisions about their health and future.

What is GBE1 Gene Glycogen storage disease type 4 Genetic Test?

The GBE1 gene is responsible for providing instructions to produce the enzyme glycogen branching enzyme. Glycogen storage disease type 4 (GSD4), also known as Andersen disease, is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the GBE1 gene.

NGS Technology and Genetic Testing

NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic test that uses advanced sequencing technologies to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. It allows for the detection of various genetic variations, including small point mutations, deletions, insertions, and rearrangements, in a more efficient and cost-effective manner compared to traditional sequencing methods.

In the context of GSD4, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify mutations in the GBE1 gene that are associated with the disease. This can help in confirming a diagnosis, assessing the risk of passing on the condition to offspring, and providing information for genetic counseling.

The Process of NGS Genetic Testing

NGS genetic testing may involve obtaining a DNA sample from the individual undergoing testing, typically through a blood sample or a cheek swab. The DNA is then sequenced using NGS technology, and the resulting data is analyzed to identify any mutations or genetic variations in the GBE1 gene.

It is important to note that NGS genetic testing is a complex process, and the results should be interpreted by a qualified healthcare professional or genetic counselor who specializes in genetic testing and rare genetic disorders like GSD4. They can provide a detailed explanation of the test results and discuss any implications for the individual and their family.
