HTRA1 Gene CARASIL Genetic Test
Welcome to DNA Labs UAE, a leading genetic testing laboratory in the UAE. We offer the HTRA1 Gene CARASIL Genetic Test, a specialized test for diagnosing and identifying mutations associated with CARASIL.
Test Details
The HTRA1 gene is linked to CARASIL, a rare genetic disorder characterized by the progressive degeneration of small blood vessels in the brain. This condition leads to symptoms such as recurrent strokes, cognitive decline, and psychiatric symptoms.
Our HTRA1 Gene CARASIL Genetic Test utilizes Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, a high-throughput genetic testing method that can analyze multiple genes simultaneously. This test can identify any mutations or variations in the HTRA1 gene that may be associated with CARASIL.
If you suspect that you or a family member may have CARASIL, our test can help provide a definitive diagnosis. It is especially useful if you present with characteristic symptoms such as stroke-like episodes and white matter abnormalities in the brain.
In addition, our test can also be used for carrier testing in individuals with a family history of CARASIL. This can help determine if you carry the genetic mutation associated with the condition, even if you do not exhibit any symptoms.
Test Components and Price
- Test Name: HTRA1 Gene CARASIL Genetic Test
- Components: Blood or Extracted DNA or One drop Blood on FTA Card
- Price: 4400.0 AED
Sample Condition and Report Delivery
We require a blood sample, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card for the test. The report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks from the date of sample submission.
Test Method and Type
The HTRA1 Gene CARASIL Genetic Test is performed using NGS technology, which allows for efficient and accurate analysis of the HTRA1 gene. The test falls under the category of Vascular Diseases in our genetics department.
Referring Doctor and Test Department
- Doctor: General Physician
- Test Department: Genetics
Pre Test Information
Prior to undergoing the HTRA1 Gene CARASIL Genetic Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. This information helps us understand the patient’s symptoms and medical background.
Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session is recommended to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by CARASIL. This chart helps us identify potential genetic links and guide the testing process.
Interpreting the Results
It is crucial to note that genetic testing for CARASIL should be performed in specialized genetic testing laboratories and requires a healthcare professional’s order. The results of the test should be interpreted by a geneticist or genetic counselor.
Our team of experts can provide appropriate counseling and guidance based on your specific situation. They will help you understand the implications of the test results and assist in developing a personalized treatment plan, if necessary.
At DNA Labs UAE, we are committed to providing accurate and reliable genetic testing services. Contact us today to schedule an appointment for the HTRA1 Gene CARASIL Genetic Test and take a step towards understanding your genetic health.

| Test Details | The HTRA1 gene is associated with a rare genetic disorder called CARASIL (Cerebral Autosomal Recessive Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy).

NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) is a high-throughput genetic testing method that can analyze multiple genes simultaneously.
