L2HGDH Gene L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria Genetic Test
Are you or a loved one experiencing neurological problems? It might be worth considering the L2HGDH Gene L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria Genetic Test offered by DNA Labs UAE. This test can help identify the presence of a rare genetic disorder known as L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria (L2HGA).
Test Details
L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria is a disorder characterized by the accumulation of L-2-hydroxyglutaric acid in the body, which can lead to neurological problems. The L2HGDH gene is associated with this condition, and the L2HGDH Gene L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria Genetic Test uses NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology to analyze this gene for mutations or variations that may be responsible for the disorder.
Components and Price
The L2HGDH Gene L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria Genetic Test is priced at 4400.0 AED. The test can be conducted using blood or extracted DNA, or even just one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Report Delivery and Method
After the sample is collected, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks. The NGS technology is utilized for this test, allowing for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes.
Test Type and Doctor
The L2HGDH Gene L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria Genetic Test falls under the category of metabolic disorders. It is recommended to consult a general physician for this test.
Test Department and Pre Test Information
The L2HGDH Gene L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria Genetic Test is conducted in the Genetics department. Before taking the test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a genetic counseling session is recommended to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria.
Interpreting the Results
It is crucial to note that NGS genetic testing should be performed by specialized laboratories and the results should be interpreted by a qualified geneticist or genetic counselor. The information obtained from this test can aid in diagnosis, genetic counseling, and potentially guide treatment decisions.
If you suspect L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria or have a family history of the disorder, it is worth considering the L2HGDH Gene L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria Genetic Test. Contact DNA Labs UAE to schedule an appointment and take the first step towards understanding your genetic health.

Test Details |
The L2HGDH gene is associated with a rare genetic disorder called L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria (L2HGA). This disorder is characterized by the buildup of L-2-hydroxyglutaric acid in the body, leading to neurological problems. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a method used to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the context of L2HGA, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify mutations or variations in the L2HGDH gene that may be responsible for the disorder. By analyzing the L2HGDH gene using NGS technology, healthcare professionals can identify specific genetic changes that may be causing L2HGA. This information can help with diagnosis, genetic counseling, and potentially guide treatment decisions. It’s important to note that NGS genetic testing is typically performed by specialized laboratories and requires a healthcare professional’s order. The results of the test should be interpreted by a qualified geneticist or genetic counselor. |
