The HSPB1 gene CMT2F genetic test is a specialized diagnostic tool aimed at identifying mutations in the HSPB1 gene, which are linked to Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2F (CMT2F). Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is a group of inherited disorders that affect the peripheral nerves, leading to muscle weakness and sensory problems, predominantly in the feet and legs. CMT2F is a specific subtype characterized by late-onset and predominantly affects motor nerves, though sensory nerves can also be involved.

The test involves analyzing the patient’s DNA, extracted from a blood sample, to look for specific genetic alterations in the HSPB1 gene that are known to cause CMT2F. Identifying these mutations can confirm a diagnosis of CMT2F, which is crucial for managing the disease, understanding its progression, and providing appropriate genetic counseling for affected families.

The test is offered by DNA Labs UAE, a leading facility in genetic testing and analysis in the United Arab Emirates. The cost of the HSPB1 gene CMT2F genetic test is 4400 AED. This price reflects the comprehensive nature of the test, including the sophisticated technology and expertise required to accurately identify mutations in the HSPB1 gene. By opting for this test at DNA Labs UAE, patients and their families can expect reliable results, professional genetic counseling, and guidance on the next steps following a diagnosis.
