GDAP1 Gene CMT4A Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the GDAP1 Gene CMT4A Genetic Test for individuals who may be at risk for Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4A (CMT4A). This rare genetic disorder affects the peripheral nerves and can cause muscle weakness, atrophy, and loss of sensation in the hands and feet.
Test Details
The GDAP1 Gene CMT4A Genetic Test is a next-generation sequencing (NGS) test that analyzes the GDAP1 gene for mutations associated with CMT4A. This test can help diagnose CMT4A in individuals with symptoms and can also be used for carrier testing in individuals with a family history of CMT4A.
