The HEXB gene Sandhoff disease genetic test is a specific diagnostic tool used to detect mutations in the HEXB gene, which are responsible for causing Sandhoff disease. Sandhoff disease is a rare, inherited disorder characterized by the progressive destruction of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. It is classified under a group of disorders known as lysosomal storage diseases, where harmful quantities of lipids accumulate in cells due to enzyme deficiencies.

The test involves analyzing the patient’s DNA to identify any genetic alterations in the HEXB gene, which encodes the beta-subunit of the hexosaminidase A and B enzymes. Deficiencies in these enzymes lead to the accumulation of GM2 gangliosides, a type of lipid, in the neurons, causing the symptoms associated with Sandhoff disease.

This genetic test is crucial for the early diagnosis of Sandhoff disease, allowing for potential treatment options to be considered and genetic counseling for affected families. The test is available at DNA Labs UAE, a reputable laboratory known for its advanced genetic testing services. The cost of the HEXB gene Sandhoff disease genetic test at DNA Labs UAE is 3200 AED. Early diagnosis through this test can be vital for managing symptoms and improving the quality of life for those affected by the disease.

Pre Test Information

Before undergoing the HEXB Gene Sandhoff Disease Genetic Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a genetic counseling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with Sandhoff disease.

Test Details

The HEXB gene is associated with Sandhoff disease, which is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the accumulation of harmful substances in cells, particularly in the brain and spinal cord. Our genetic testing technique, Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), allows for the rapid and simultaneous sequencing of multiple genes.

In the context of Sandhoff disease, NGS can be used to analyze the HEXB gene for mutations or variations that may be responsible for the disease. To perform the NGS genetic test for Sandhoff disease, a sample of DNA is collected from the individual being tested, typically through a blood or saliva sample. The collected DNA is then sequenced using NGS technology to identify any mutations or variations in the HEXB gene.

The results of the NGS genetic test can help confirm a diagnosis of Sandhoff disease and provide information about the specific genetic variants present in the HEXB gene. This information is valuable for genetic counseling, family planning, and potentially guiding treatment options or clinical management of the disease.
