Karyotyping For Detection of Fragile X Syndrome Test
Test Cost: 1500.0 AED
Symptoms Diagnosis: Fragile X Syndrome is caused by a mutation in the FMR1 gene, which is located on the X chromosome. Karyotyping is not typically used for the detection of Fragile X Syndrome as it is not sensitive enough to detect the specific mutation in the FMR1 gene. Instead, a DNA analysis or DNA sequencing test is used for a more accurate and reliable diagnosis.
Test Components: Sodium Heparin Vacutainer (2ml)
Sample Condition: Peripheral blood
Report Delivery: 7-10 days
Method: Cell culture
Test Type: Genetics
Doctor: Gynecologist
Test Department: Pre Test Information
Pre Test Information: Karyotyping For Detection of Fragile X Syndrome can be done with a Doctor’s prescription. Prescription is not applicable for surgery and pregnancy cases or people planning to travel abroad.
Test Details: Karyotyping is a laboratory technique used to examine the number, size, and shape of chromosomes in a person’s cells. It is commonly used to detect large-scale chromosomal abnormalities, such as Down syndrome. However, it is not sensitive enough to detect the specific mutation in the FMR1 gene that causes Fragile X Syndrome. For the diagnosis of Fragile X Syndrome, a genetic test called a DNA analysis or DNA sequencing is used. This test specifically looks for the mutation in the FMR1 gene, which is characterized by an excessive number of repeated DNA sequences. The genetic test is more accurate and reliable for detecting Fragile X Syndrome compared to karyotyping.
