MLC1 Gene Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the MLC1 Gene Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts Genetic Test. This test is designed to diagnose and identify mutations or variations in the MLC1 gene that may be responsible for the development of megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (MLC), a rare genetic disorder characterized by abnormal brain development.
Test Details
The MLC1 gene is associated with megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (MLC), a disorder characterized by the enlargement of the brain (megalencephaly) and the presence of fluid-filled cavities called subcortical cysts. Our NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing utilizes high-throughput sequencing technology to analyze multiple genes or the entire exome in a cost-effective and efficient manner.
Test Components and Price
The cost of the MLC1 Gene Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts Genetic Test is 4400.0 AED. The sample condition required for this test is either blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Report Delivery and Method
The report for this test will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks. The method used for the test is NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology.
Test Type and Department
The MLC1 Gene Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts Genetic Test falls under the category of Neurological Disorders. The test is conducted in our Genetics department.
Doctor and Pre Test Information
This test is performed under the supervision of a Neurologist. Prior to the test, a Genetic Counselling session is conducted to gather the clinical history of the patient and draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with MLC.
Benefits and Applications
The MLC1 Gene Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts Genetic Test can provide valuable information for genetic counseling, family planning, and potentially guide treatment options or management strategies for individuals with MLC. By analyzing the genetic material (DNA) through NGS, healthcare professionals can detect specific changes in the MLC1 gene, confirming a diagnosis of MLC.

| Test Details | The MLC1 gene is associated with a rare genetic disorder called megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (MLC). This disorder is characterized by abnormal brain development, specifically the enlargement of the brain (megalencephaly) and the presence of fluid-filled cavities called subcortical cysts. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing refers to a high-throughput sequencing technology that can simultaneously sequence multiple genes or the entire exome (all protein-coding regions of the genome) in a cost-effective and efficient manner. In the context of MLC, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify mutations or variations in the MLC1 gene that may be responsible for the development of the disorder. By analyzing the genetic material (DNA) of an individual through NGS, healthcare professionals can detect specific changes in the MLC1 gene that may confirm a diagnosis of MLC. This information can be valuable for genetic counseling, family planning, and potentially guiding treatment options or management strategies for individuals with MLC. |
