MYO18B Gene Klippel-Feil Syndrome Type 4 Autosomal Dominant with Myopathy and Facial Dysmorphism Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the MYO18B Gene Klippel-Feil Syndrome Type 4 Autosomal Dominant with Myopathy and Facial Dysmorphism Genetic Test at a cost of AED 4400.0. This test is designed to diagnose individuals with Klippel-Feil Syndrome Type 4, an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the fusion of two or more cervical vertebrae in the neck.
Individuals with Klippel-Feil Syndrome Type 4 may experience limited neck movement, short stature, and abnormal curvature of the spine. Additionally, mutations in the MYO18B gene, which is associated with this syndrome, can also lead to myopathy, a group of disorders characterized by muscle weakness and dysfunction. Symptoms of myopathy include muscle wasting, decreased muscle tone, and difficulty with movement.
Facial dysmorphism, or abnormal facial features, may also be present in individuals with MYO18B gene mutations. These features can vary but may include a flat nasal bridge, a small jaw, or other facial abnormalities.
To confirm a diagnosis of Klippel-Feil Syndrome Type 4, autosomal dominant, with myopathy and facial dysmorphism, we offer a genetic test called Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS). NGS is a high-throughput sequencing method that allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes, including the MYO18B gene. This test can identify mutations in the MYO18B gene or other genes associated with similar conditions.
Before undergoing the MYO18B Gene Klippel-Feil Syndrome Type 4 Autosomal Dominant with Myopathy and Facial Dysmorphism Genetic Test, it is important to provide a clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a genetic counseling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by the syndrome.
Our test department, Genetics, is staffed by experienced professionals, including pediatricians who specialize in genetic testing. The test can be performed using a blood sample, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card. The report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
For a comprehensive evaluation and discussion of the genetic testing options available, we recommend consulting with a healthcare professional or genetic counselor. They can provide accurate diagnosis and guidance based on the results of the MYO18B Gene Klippel-Feil Syndrome Type 4 Autosomal Dominant with Myopathy and Facial Dysmorphism Genetic Test.

Test Details |
The MYO18B gene is associated with Klippel-Feil syndrome type 4, which is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the fusion of two or more cervical vertebrae in the neck. This condition can lead to a variety of symptoms, including limited neck movement, short stature, and abnormal curvature of the spine. In addition to Klippel-Feil syndrome, mutations in the MYO18B gene have also been associated with myopathy, which is a group of disorders characterized by muscle weakness and dysfunction. These mutations can lead to muscle wasting, decreased muscle tone, and difficulty with movement. Furthermore, individuals with MYO18B gene mutations may also exhibit facial dysmorphism, which refers to abnormal facial features. These features can vary widely but may include a flat nasal bridge, a small jaw, or other facial abnormalities. To confirm a diagnosis of Klippel-Feil syndrome type 4, autosomal dominant, with myopathy and facial dysmorphism, a genetic test called Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) can be performed. NGS is a high-throughput sequencing method that allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes. This test can identify mutations in the MYO18B gene or other genes associated with similar conditions. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional or genetic counselor for a comprehensive evaluation and discussion of the genetic testing options available for an accurate diagnosis. |
