The MERRF Myoclonic Epilepsy Associated with Ragged Red Fibres Mutation Detection Test is a specialized diagnostic procedure available at DNA Labs UAE, designed to identify mutations associated with Myoclonic Epilepsy with Ragged Red Fibers (MERRF) syndrome. MERRF is a rare, inherited neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a combination of myoclonus, epilepsy, ataxia, and muscle weakness. The hallmark of this condition, visible under a microscope, is the presence of ragged red fibers in muscle cells, indicating abnormal mitochondrial accumulation.

This test specifically targets the genetic mutations known to cause MERRF, providing a crucial tool for accurate diagnosis. By analyzing the patient’s DNA, the test can confirm the presence of these mutations, enabling healthcare providers to make informed decisions regarding the patient’s management and treatment. Early detection through genetic testing is vital for managing symptoms and improving the quality of life for individuals with MERRF.

At DNA Labs UAE, the cost of the MERRF Mutation Detection Test is set at 2810 AED. This investment in health allows for a comprehensive understanding of the genetic basis of the patient’s condition, facilitating targeted interventions and support for affected individuals and their families.

MERRF MYOCLONIC EPILEPSY ASSOCIATED WITH RAGGED RED FIBRES MUTATION DETECTION Test

At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the MERRF MYOCLONIC EPILEPSY ASSOCIATED WITH RAGGED RED FIBRES MUTATION DETECTION Test to identify mutations in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) associated with MERRF syndrome. This rare genetic disorder is characterized by myoclonic epilepsy (seizures), muscle weakness, ataxia (loss of coordination), and the presence of ragged red fibers in muscle biopsies.

Test Details

The MERRF Mutation Detection Test involves collecting a blood or tissue sample from the individual suspected of having MERRF syndrome. The DNA is then extracted from the sample, and specific regions of the mtDNA are amplified and sequenced. This allows for the identification of any mutations or abnormalities in the mtDNA associated with MERRF syndrome.

The test is valuable in confirming a diagnosis of MERRF syndrome in individuals with symptoms consistent with the disorder. It can also be used for carrier testing in individuals with a family history of MERRF syndrome or for prenatal testing in couples at risk of having a child with the disorder.

Please note that the MERRF Mutation Detection Test is a specialized genetic test and may not be available at all medical facilities. It is recommended to consult with a healthcare provider or genetic counselor for more information about the availability and appropriateness of this test in specific cases.
