MTTP Gene Abetalipoproteinemia Genetic Test
Welcome to DNA Labs UAE, where we offer the MTTP Gene Abetalipoproteinemia Genetic Test. This test helps diagnose and identify genetic variations associated with abetalipoproteinemia, a rare metabolic disorder.
Test Details
The MTTP gene is responsible for producing a protein called microsomal triglyceride transfer protein. This protein plays a crucial role in transporting fats, such as triglycerides and cholesterol, from the liver and intestine into the bloodstream.
Abetalipoproteinemia is a rare genetic disorder characterized by impaired production or function of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein. This leads to the accumulation of fats in the liver and intestine, resulting in malabsorption of dietary fats and fat-soluble vitamins.
Symptoms of abetalipoproteinemia include poor growth, malnutrition, fatty stools, and neurological problems.

Pre Test Information
Prior to the test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient who is undergoing the MTTP Gene Abetalipoproteinemia NGS Genetic DNA Test. A genetic counseling session may also be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by Abetalipoproteinemia.
NGS Technology and Genetic Testing
NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a method used to analyze multiple genes simultaneously and identify genetic variations or mutations associated with a particular condition.
In the case of abetalipoproteinemia, NGS genetic testing can help identify variations in the MTTP gene that may be responsible for the disorder. This testing can provide valuable information for diagnosis, genetic counseling, and potentially guide treatment options for individuals with abetalipoproteinemia.
