ITPR1 Gene Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 15 Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the ITPR1 Gene Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 15 Genetic Test. This test is designed to diagnose and provide information about the rare genetic disorder known as Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 15 (SCA15). SCA15 is characterized by the progressive degeneration of the cerebellum, resulting in uncoordinated movements, balance problems, and other neurological symptoms.
Test Details
The ITPR1 gene is associated with SCA15, and mutations in this gene can cause the condition. Our genetic testing method, NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology, allows for the analysis of multiple genes simultaneously. With NGS genetic testing, we can identify mutations or variations in the ITPR1 gene that may be responsible for the development of SCA15.
Test Components and Price
The ITPR1 Gene Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 15 Genetic Test is priced at AED 4400.0. The test requires a blood or extracted DNA sample, or one drop of blood on an FTA card. The report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
Test Type and Doctor
This test falls under the category of Neurological Disorders. It is recommended to consult a Neurologist for this test.
Test Department
The ITPR1 Gene Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 15 Genetic Test is conducted in our Genetics department.
Pre Test Information
Prior to taking the test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient who is undergoing the ITPR1 Gene Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 15 NGS Genetic DNA Test. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by SCA15.
Benefits of Genetic Testing for SCA15
Genetic testing for SCA15 can provide a definitive diagnosis and help guide treatment and management strategies. It can be beneficial for individuals who have symptoms of the disorder or have a family history of SCA15. Additionally, genetic testing can be used for carrier testing or prenatal testing for individuals who may be at risk of passing on the mutated gene to their children.
Important Considerations
It is crucial to undergo genetic testing for SCA15 under the guidance of a healthcare professional or genetic counselor who can provide appropriate counseling and support throughout the testing process.

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 15 (SCA15) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by progressive degeneration of the cerebellum, leading to uncoordinated movements, balance problems, and other neurological symptoms. The ITPR1 gene is associated with SCA15, and mutations in this gene can cause the condition. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of DNA sequencing technology that allows for the analysis of multiple genes simultaneously. In the case of SCA15, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify mutations or variations in the ITPR1 gene that may be responsible for the development of the disorder. NGS testing involves obtaining a DNA sample, typically through a blood or saliva sample, and then sequencing the DNA to identify any genetic variations or mutations. This can help to diagnose SCA15 and provide information about the specific genetic variant that is causing the condition. Genetic testing for SCA15 can be helpful for individuals who have symptoms of the disorder or have a family history of SCA15. It can provide a definitive diagnosis and help guide treatment and management strategies. Additionally, genetic testing can also be used for carrier testing or prenatal testing for individuals who may be at risk of passing on the mutated gene to their children. It is important to note that genetic testing for SCA15 should be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional or genetic counselor who can provide appropriate counseling and support throughout the testing process. |
