The “LIM2 Gene Cataract Cortical Pulverulent Late-Onset Genetic Test” is a specialized diagnostic examination designed to identify mutations in the LIM2 gene, which are associated with the development of late-onset cortical pulverulent cataracts. Cataracts are characterized by the clouding of the lens in the eye, leading to decreased vision, and the LIM2 gene plays a crucial role in maintaining lens transparency. Mutations in this gene can disrupt lens fiber cell membrane integrity, leading to the formation of cataracts.

This genetic test is particularly valuable for individuals who have a family history of cataracts or have been identified as having symptoms suggestive of this specific type of cataract. Early identification of mutations can aid in the management and treatment planning for affected individuals, potentially leading to better outcomes.

The test is conducted at DNA Labs UAE, a reputable facility known for its advanced genetic testing services. The cost of the test is set at 4400 AED. It involves collecting a DNA sample, typically through a blood draw or a cheek swab, which is then analyzed in the laboratory for the presence of mutations in the LIM2 gene. Results from this test can provide crucial information for patients and their families regarding the risk of developing late-onset cortical pulverulent cataracts and can guide decisions about monitoring and intervention strategies.

LIM2 Gene Cataract cortical pulverulent late-onset Genetic Test

Welcome to DNA Labs UAE, where we offer the LIM2 Gene Cataract cortical pulverulent late-onset Genetic Test. This test helps diagnose individuals with cortical pulverulent cataract, a type of cataract characterized by small, white opacities in the lens of the eye.

Test Details

The LIM2 gene is associated with cortical pulverulent cataract. This condition can cause blurred vision and difficulty seeing in low light conditions. It is typically diagnosed in individuals over the age of 40 and is often inherited in an autosomal dominant manner.

Test Components

  • Price: 4400.0 AED
  • Sample Condition: Blood or Extracted DNA or One drop Blood on FTA Card
  • Report Delivery: 3 to 4 Weeks
  • Method: NGS Technology
  • Test Type: Ophthalmology Disorders
  • Doctor: Ophthalmologist
  • Test Department: Genetics

Pre Test Information

Before undergoing the LIM2 Gene Cataract cortical pulverulent late-onset Genetic Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session may be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by the condition.

Benefits of the Test

NGS genetic testing can identify mutations in the LIM2 gene, confirming a diagnosis of cortical pulverulent cataract. This information is valuable for genetic counseling and family planning, as it provides insight into the inheritance pattern of the condition.

Test Details

The LIM2 gene is associated with a type of cataract known as cortical pulverulent cataract. This type of cataract is characterized by the presence of small, white opacities in the lens of the eye, which can cause blurred vision and difficulty seeing in low light conditions.

Late-onset cortical pulverulent cataract is typically diagnosed in individuals over the age of 40 and is often inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, meaning that a mutation in one copy of the LIM2 gene is sufficient to cause the condition.

NGS genetic testing can be used to identify mutations in the LIM2 gene, which can help confirm a diagnosis of cortical pulverulent cataract and provide information about the inheritance pattern of the condition. This information can be useful for genetic counseling and family planning.
