The GM1 Gangliosidosis Quantitative Blood Test is a specialized diagnostic assessment conducted to identify the presence of GM1 Gangliosidosis, a rare inherited disorder that affects the brain and spinal cord. This condition is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme beta-galactosidase, which leads to the accumulation of harmful substances in the nerve cells, causing severe neurological impairment. The test quantitatively measures the activity level of the beta-galactosidase enzyme in the blood, providing crucial information for the diagnosis and management of the condition.

At DNA Labs UAE, this test is available for a cost of 400 AED. The laboratory is equipped with advanced diagnostic technology to ensure accurate and reliable results. By opting for this test at DNA Labs UAE, patients and healthcare providers can expect professional service and timely delivery of results, which are critical for the early detection and treatment planning of GM1 Gangliosidosis.

GM1 Gangliosidosis Quantitative Blood Test

Cost: AED 400.0

Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Test Details

GM1 gangliosidosis is a rare genetic disorder that affects the nervous system. It is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme beta-galactosidase, which leads to the accumulation of GM1 ganglioside in the cells of the body. A quantitative blood test can be performed to measure the levels of beta-galactosidase enzyme activity in the blood.

During the test, a small sample of blood (10 ml) is taken from the patient. The sample should be collected using 3 Lavender Top (EDTA) or Green Top (Sodium heparin) tubes. It is important to ship the sample refrigerated and not freeze it. Clinical details must accompany the sample.

The test is conducted using the Enzyme Assay method and falls under the category of inborn errors of metabolism. The test is typically ordered by a pediatrician and is performed in the genetic department of the laboratory.

Pre Test Information

Clinical details must accompany the sample for accurate diagnosis.

Report Delivery

The report is delivered daily by 4 pm and usually takes 4 days to be generated.

Interpreting the Test Results

Normal levels of beta-galactosidase enzyme activity in the blood indicate that the patient does not have GM1 gangliosidosis. However, low levels of the enzyme may suggest a deficiency and a potential diagnosis of GM1 gangliosidosis.

It is important to note that a quantitative blood test alone is not sufficient to definitively diagnose GM1 gangliosidosis. Additional tests, such as genetic testing or imaging studies, may be needed to confirm the diagnosis. Therefore, a consultation with a geneticist or a specialist in metabolic disorders is recommended for a comprehensive evaluation and diagnosis of GM1 gangliosidosis.

A quantitative blood test can be performed to measure the levels of beta-galactosidase enzyme activity in the blood. This test can help diagnose GM1 gangliosidosis and determine the severity of the disease.

During the test, a small sample of blood is taken from the patient and sent to a laboratory for analysis. The laboratory measures the amount of beta-galactosidase enzyme activity in the blood sample. Normal levels of the enzyme indicate that the patient does not have GM1 gangliosidosis, while low levels indicate a deficiency of the enzyme and a potential diagnosis of GM1 gangliosidosis.

It is important to note that a quantitative blood test alone is not sufficient to diagnose GM1 gangliosidosis definitively. Additional tests, such as genetic testing or imaging studies, may be needed to confirm the diagnosis.
