LMNA Gene Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Genetic Test
Genetic testing plays a crucial role in diagnosing and managing genetic disorders. One such disorder is Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS), a rare condition characterized by accelerated aging in children. DNA Labs UAE offers a comprehensive genetic test for the LMNA gene associated with HGPS.
Test Details
The LMNA gene is responsible for Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome. To identify any mutations or variations in this gene, DNA Labs UAE utilizes Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology. NGS allows for the rapid and efficient sequencing of large amounts of genetic material.
Test Components and Price
The LMNA Gene Hutchinson-Gilford progeria Genetic Test is priced at 4400.0 AED. The test requires a blood or extracted DNA sample, or even just one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Report Delivery
The report for the LMNA Gene Hutchinson-Gilford progeria Genetic Test is delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
Test Method
The test utilizes NGS technology to analyze the LMNA gene for any mutations or variations associated with HGPS.
Test Type
The LMNA Gene Hutchinson-Gilford progeria Genetic Test falls under the category of Dysmorphology.
Referring Doctor and Test Department
The test is recommended by pediatricians and falls under the Genetics department at DNA Labs UAE.
Pre Test Information
Prior to the test, a clinical history of the patient is obtained. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session is conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by HGPS.
Why is the Test Important?
Identifying specific mutations in the LMNA gene associated with HGPS is crucial for confirming a diagnosis and providing appropriate medical management and treatment options. Genetic testing can also be used for carrier screening in families with a history of HGPS or for prenatal testing in cases where there is a known family history of the condition.
It is important to note that genetic testing for HGPS should always be performed by a qualified geneticist or genetic counselor who can interpret the results and provide appropriate counseling and support.

| Test Details |
The LMNA gene is associated with Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS), a rare genetic disorder characterized by accelerated aging in children. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a high-throughput DNA sequencing technology that allows for the rapid and efficient sequencing of large amounts of genetic material. In the context of genetic testing for HGPS, NGS can be used to analyze the LMNA gene for any mutations or variations that may be responsible for the condition. The NGS genetic test for LMNA gene mutations in Hutchinson-Gilford progeria involves obtaining a DNA sample, typically through a blood or saliva sample, from the individual suspected of having HGPS. The DNA is then sequenced using NGS technology, allowing for the identification of any variations or mutations in the LMNA gene. Identifying specific mutations in the LMNA gene associated with HGPS can help confirm a diagnosis and provide important information for medical management and treatment options. Additionally, genetic testing can also be used for carrier screening in families with a history of HGPS or for prenatal testing in cases where there is a known family history of the condition. It’s important to note that genetic testing for HGPS should be performed by a qualified geneticist or genetic counselor who can interpret the results and provide appropriate counseling and support. |
