The Huntington Disease Mutation Detection Test is a crucial diagnostic tool available at DNA Labs UAE, designed to identify the specific genetic mutation responsible for Huntington’s disease. This hereditary condition, characterized by the progressive breakdown of nerve cells in the brain, can lead to severe physical and cognitive decline. The test is performed through a detailed analysis of the patient’s DNA to detect the presence of the expanded CAG repeat in the HTT gene, which is the hallmark of Huntington’s disease.

Priced at 1600 AED, the test is both accessible and essential for individuals with a family history of Huntington’s disease or those exhibiting symptoms, providing them with crucial information regarding their genetic status. Early detection through this test can significantly aid in the management and planning for the progression of the disease, offering patients and their families a clearer understanding of the condition and the potential interventions or support systems available. DNA Labs UAE, with its state-of-the-art facilities and expert team, ensures a reliable and efficient testing process, making it a trusted choice for genetic testing services in the region.

HUNTINGTON DISEASE MUTATION DETECTION Test

Test Cost: AED 1600.0

Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Test Details

The Huntington disease mutation detection test is a genetic test used to identify the presence of a mutation in the huntingtin (HTT) gene, which is associated with Huntington’s disease. Huntington’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects the brain and causes a range of physical, cognitive, and psychiatric symptoms.

The test typically involves analyzing a blood sample or a sample of DNA to look for an expansion of a repeated DNA sequence within the HTT gene. In individuals without Huntington’s disease, the number of repeated sequences is usually stable, while in affected individuals, there is an abnormal expansion of the repeated sequence.

The test can be used for diagnostic purposes in individuals showing symptoms of Huntington’s disease, as well as for presymptomatic testing in individuals who have a family history of the condition. It can also be used for prenatal testing to determine if a fetus has inherited the mutation from an affected parent.

The Huntington disease mutation detection test is an important tool for diagnosing and managing Huntington’s disease, as it allows for early detection and appropriate medical and psychological support for affected individuals and their families. It can also provide valuable information for family planning and genetic counseling purposes.
