Leber’s Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON) Mitochondrial Mutation Detection Test is a specialized diagnostic procedure offered by DNA Labs UAE, aimed at identifying specific mitochondrial DNA mutations associated with LHON. This genetic condition primarily affects the optic nerves, leading to a sudden or gradual loss of central vision in one or both eyes, predominantly in young adults. The test, priced at 1290 AED, involves analyzing the patient’s DNA to detect the presence of common mutations in the mitochondrial genes that are known to cause LHON. These mutations disrupt the normal function of the mitochondria, affecting the optic nerve and leading to vision loss. Early detection through this test can be crucial for affected individuals and their families to understand the genetic basis of the condition, explore potential treatments, and make informed decisions about managing the disease. DNA Labs UAE provides this testing service with a focus on accuracy, confidentiality, and support for patients and their families navigating the implications of LHON.

LEBER’S HEREDITARY OPTIC NEUROPATHY LHON MITOCHONDRIAL MUTATION DETECTION Test

Welcome to DNA Labs UAE, where we offer the LEBER’S HEREDITARY OPTIC NEUROPATHY LHON MITOCHONDRIAL MUTATION DETECTION Test. This genetic test is used to detect mutations in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) associated with Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON).

Test Details

The LEBER’S HEREDITARY OPTIC NEUROPATHY (LHON) MITOCHONDRIAL MUTATION DETECTION Test is a genetic test used to detect mutations in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) associated with Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON). LHON is a rare genetic disorder that primarily affects the optic nerve, leading to vision loss and blindness.

Test Components and Price

Test Name: LEBER’S HEREDITARY OPTIC NEUROPATHY LHON MITOCHONDRIAL MUTATION DETECTION Test

Components: PCR, sequencing

Price: 1290.0 AED

Sample Condition: 4 mL (2 mL min.) whole blood in 1 Lavender top (EDTA) tube. Ship refrigerated. DO NOT FREEZE.

Report Delivery: Sample Mon by 9 am; Report Fri

Doctor: Ophthalmologist

Test Department: MOLECULAR DIAGNOSTICS

Pre Test Information: Duly filled Genomics Clinical Information Requisition Form (Form 20) is mandatory.

Test Procedure

The test involves analyzing a sample of the patient’s DNA, usually obtained through a blood sample. The DNA is then sequenced to identify specific mutations in the mtDNA that are known to be associated with LHON. These mutations typically affect genes involved in the electron transport chain, which is responsible for generating energy in the mitochondria.

Test Results and Interpretation

The results of the test can help confirm a diagnosis of LHON in individuals with symptoms or a family history of the condition. It can also be used for carrier testing in individuals who have a family history of LHON but do not show symptoms themselves. It is important to note that not all individuals with the LHON-associated mutations will develop the condition. The test results should be interpreted in conjunction with clinical symptoms and family history to determine the likelihood of developing LHON.

Genetic Counseling

Genetic counseling is often recommended before and after undergoing the LHON mitochondrial mutation detection test to discuss the implications of the results and the inheritance pattern of the condition.
