NDUFS7 Gene Leigh Syndrome Genetic Test
Overview
The NDUFS7 gene is associated with Leigh syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that affects the central nervous system. This syndrome is characterized by progressive neurological deterioration, including developmental delay, loss of motor skills, muscle weakness, and respiratory problems.
Test Details
The NDUFS7 Gene Leigh Syndrome Genetic Test is a neurologically focused genetic test that utilizes Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology. This test analyzes the NDUFS7 gene to identify any mutations or variants that may be present. By analyzing this gene, healthcare professionals can provide valuable information about the genetic cause of Leigh syndrome, aiding in diagnosis and treatment planning.
Components and Price
- Test Name: NDUFS7 Gene Leigh Syndrome Genetic Test
- Components: NGS Technology
- Price: 4400.0 AED
Sample Condition
Patients can provide a blood sample, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA Card for this test.
Report Delivery
The test results will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
Doctor and Test Department
This test is conducted by a Neurologist in the Genetics department.
Pre Test Information
Prior to the test, a Genetic Counselling session is recommended. This session helps in drawing a pedigree chart of family members affected by NDUFS7 Gene Leigh syndrome, providing important insights into the genetic history of the disorder.
Interpreting the Results
It is important to note that NGS genetic testing may not be available in all healthcare facilities and may require a referral to a specialized genetics center or laboratory. Additionally, genetic testing results should always be interpreted in conjunction with a thorough clinical evaluation and consultation with a healthcare professional or genetic counselor.
Conclusion
The NDUFS7 Gene Leigh Syndrome Genetic Test using NGS technology offers valuable insights into the genetic cause of Leigh syndrome. By identifying specific genetic mutations or variants, healthcare professionals can confirm a diagnosis, provide accurate genetic counseling, and guide treatment decisions.
