Test Details
The GLYCTK gene is responsible for providing instructions to produce the enzyme called glycerate kinase. This enzyme is involved in a metabolic pathway that converts D-glycerate, a molecule derived from the breakdown of certain amino acids, into glycerate-2-phosphate.
D-glyceric aciduria is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the inability to properly metabolize D-glycerate, leading to the accumulation of this molecule in the body. This condition is caused by mutations in the GLYCTK gene, which result in reduced or absent activity of the glycerate kinase enzyme.
NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic test that uses advanced sequencing technologies to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the case of D-glyceric aciduria, NGS can be used to sequence the GLYCTK gene and identify any mutations or variants that may be present.
By identifying mutations in the GLYCTK gene, NGS genetic testing can help diagnose D-glyceric aciduria and provide valuable information for genetic counseling and management of the condition. It can also be used for carrier testing in individuals with a family history of the disorder.
