The MT-TL1 gene is a crucial component in our understanding of MELAS syndrome, a rare mitochondrial disorder that affects various parts of the body, particularly the brain and nervous system. MELAS is an acronym for Mitochondrial Encephalopathy, Lactic Acidosis, and Stroke-like episodes, conditions that are often severe and can significantly impact the quality of life. The MT-TL1 gene, responsible for encoding mitochondrial tRNA for leucine, plays a pivotal role in the proper functioning of mitochondria, the energy-producing structures within cells. Mutations in the MT-TL1 gene are directly linked to the development of MELAS syndrome, making genetic testing a valuable tool for diagnosis and management.

At DNA Labs UAE, a comprehensive MT-TL1 related genetic test is available for individuals who are suspected of having MELAS syndrome or are at risk due to their family history. This test is designed to identify mutations in the MT-TL1 gene, providing crucial information that can aid in the diagnosis, treatment planning, and genetic counseling for affected families. The process involves collecting a DNA sample, typically through a blood draw, which is then analyzed in the laboratory for the presence of mutations associated with the syndrome.

The cost of the MT-TL1 related genetic test at DNA Labs UAE is 4400 AED. While the price may seem significant, the value of the test lies in its ability to offer definitive insights into the genetic underpinnings of MELAS syndrome, facilitating targeted interventions and support for those affected. Early diagnosis and management are key in mitigating the impact of the syndrome, making this genetic test an invaluable resource for affected individuals and their families.

Pre Test Information

Prior to undergoing the MT-TL1 Gene MELAS Syndrome MT-TL1 Related Genetic Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a genetic counseling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by MELAS syndrome.

About MELAS Syndrome

MELAS syndrome, short for Mitochondrial Encephalomyopathy, Lactic Acidosis, and Stroke-like episodes, is a rare genetic disorder that affects the mitochondria – the energy-producing structures within cells. It is caused by mutations in the MT-TL1 gene, leading to impaired energy production in cells, especially in organs that require high energy levels such as the brain, muscles, and heart.

Symptoms

The symptoms of MELAS syndrome can vary widely but commonly include muscle weakness, exercise intolerance, seizures, stroke-like episodes, hearing loss, vision problems, and developmental delays. These symptoms typically manifest in childhood or adolescence but can appear at any age.

Diagnosis

To diagnose MELAS syndrome, the MT-TL1 related NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) Genetic Test is performed. This test analyzes the DNA sequence of the MT-TL1 gene to identify any mutations or genetic variations that may be causing the syndrome. It is important to note that genetic testing alone may not always provide a definitive diagnosis, and additional clinical evaluations and testing may be required.

Test Cost

The cost of the MT-TL1 Gene MELAS Syndrome MT-TL1 Related Genetic Test is 4400.0 AED.

Consultation

If you suspect that you or someone you know may have MELAS syndrome, we recommend consulting with a healthcare professional or genetic counselor. They can provide further information and guidance regarding genetic testing and the management of the condition.

Test Details

The MT-TL1 gene is one of the mitochondrial genes that is associated with a condition called MELAS syndrome. MELAS stands for Mitochondrial Encephalomyopathy, Lactic Acidosis, and Stroke-like episodes.

MELAS syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that affects the mitochondria, which are the energy-producing structures within cells. It is caused by mutations in the MT-TL1 gene, which leads to impaired production of energy in cells, particularly in organs that require a lot of energy like the brain, muscles, and heart.

The symptoms of MELAS syndrome can vary widely but often include muscle weakness, exercise intolerance, seizures, stroke-like episodes, hearing loss, vision problems, and developmental delays. These symptoms typically begin in childhood or adolescence but can appear at any age.

To diagnose MELAS syndrome, a genetic test called MT-TL1 related NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) Genetic Test can be performed. This test analyzes the DNA sequence of the MT-TL1 gene to identify any mutations or genetic variations that may be causing the syndrome. This can help confirm a diagnosis and guide treatment decisions.

It is important to note that MELAS syndrome is a complex condition and genetic testing alone may not always provide a definitive diagnosis. Additional clinical evaluations and testing may be necessary to confirm the diagnosis.

If you suspect you or someone you know may have MELAS syndrome, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional or a genetic counselor who can provide further information and guidance regarding genetic testing and management of the condition.
