L1CAM Gene SPG1 Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the L1CAM Gene SPG1 Genetic Test for individuals suspected of having hereditary spastic paraplegia type 1 (SPG1). This diagnostic test utilizes next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze the L1CAM gene for mutations associated with SPG1.
Test Details
The L1CAM gene SPG1 NGS genetic test is a comprehensive examination that can identify various types of mutations in the L1CAM gene, including single nucleotide variants, small insertions or deletions, and larger structural rearrangements. This test is particularly useful for confirming a diagnosis of SPG1 in individuals exhibiting clinical symptoms of the condition.
Additionally, the L1CAM gene SPG1 NGS genetic test can be utilized for carrier testing in individuals with a family history of SPG1, as well as for prenatal testing in families with a known L1CAM gene mutation. The results of this test provide crucial information for patient management and can also indicate the risk of passing on the condition to offspring.
Components and Price
The L1CAM Gene SPG1 Genetic Test is priced at 4400.0 AED. The test requires a blood sample or extracted DNA, or alternatively, one drop of blood on an FTA card. The report delivery time is estimated to be 3 to 4 weeks.
Method and Test Type
The L1CAM Gene SPG1 Genetic Test utilizes NGS technology, which enables the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes, including the L1CAM gene, in a single test. This advanced method ensures accurate and efficient detection of mutations associated with SPG1.
The test falls under the category of Neurological Disorders and is performed by our specialized Genetics department, with a focus on assisting Neurologists in diagnosing and managing patients with suspected SPG1.
Pre Test Information
Prior to undergoing the L1CAM Gene SPG1 Genetic Test, it is recommended to provide the clinical history of the patient who will be tested. This information helps our team better understand the individual’s symptoms and medical background.
In addition, a Genetic Counselling session is advised to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by SPG1. This chart assists in assessing the inheritance pattern and identifying potential carriers within the family.
Genetic Counseling and Patient Support
Genetic counseling plays a crucial role in the process of genetic testing. Before and after the L1CAM Gene SPG1 Genetic Test, our experienced genetic counselors are available to discuss the implications of the results and assist individuals in making informed decisions.
We understand that genetic testing can be a complex and emotional journey. Our dedicated team is committed to providing ongoing support and guidance to patients and their families throughout the testing process.

Test Details |
The L1CAM gene SPG1 NGS genetic test is a diagnostic test that uses next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze the L1CAM gene for mutations associated with hereditary spastic paraplegia type 1 (SPG1). Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a group of genetic disorders characterized by progressive weakness and stiffness of the legs (paraplegia) due to degeneration of the corticospinal tracts in the spinal cord. SPG1 is one of the most common forms of HSP and is caused by mutations in the L1CAM gene. NGS technology allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes, including the L1CAM gene, in a single test. This test can identify various types of mutations in the L1CAM gene, such as single nucleotide variants, small insertions or deletions, and larger structural rearrangements. The L1CAM gene SPG1 NGS genetic test can help confirm a diagnosis of SPG1 in individuals with clinical symptoms suggestive of the condition. It can also be used for carrier testing in individuals with a family history of SPG1 or for prenatal testing in families with a known L1CAM gene mutation. The results of the test can guide patient management and provide information on the risk of passing on the condition to offspring. Genetic counseling is typically recommended before and after undergoing genetic testing to discuss the implications of the results and to help individuals make informed decisions. |
