NLGN3 Gene Asperger syndrome susceptibility X-linked type 2 Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the NLGN3 Gene Asperger syndrome susceptibility X-linked type 2 Genetic Test for individuals who may be at risk for Asperger syndrome. This test helps in identifying mutations in the NLGN3 gene that may be associated with an increased risk for this type of autism spectrum disorder.
Test Details
The NLGN3 gene is located on the X chromosome and is responsible for producing a protein called neuroligin-3. This protein plays a crucial role in the formation and maintenance of synapses, which are the connections between neurons in the brain.
Individuals with mutations in the NLGN3 gene have been found to have an increased susceptibility to Asperger syndrome. This disorder is characterized by difficulties in social interaction and communication, as well as repetitive behaviors and restricted interests.
NGS Technology
Our NLGN3 Gene Asperger syndrome susceptibility X-linked type 2 Genetic Test utilizes NGS technology, which stands for next-generation sequencing. This advanced sequencing technique allows us to analyze multiple genes or even the entire genome at once. By using NGS technology, we can accurately identify any mutations in the NLGN3 gene that may be present.
Test Components and Price
The NLGN3 Gene Asperger syndrome susceptibility X-linked type 2 Genetic Test is priced at 4400.0 AED. The test requires a blood sample or extracted DNA, or just one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Report Delivery and Test Duration
After the sample is collected, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks. Our team of experts will ensure that the results are accurate and comprehensive.
Test Department and Doctor
The NLGN3 Gene Asperger syndrome susceptibility X-linked type 2 Genetic Test is conducted in our Genetics department, under the supervision of a Neurologist. Our Neurologist specializes in diagnosing and treating neurological disorders.
Pre Test Information
Before undergoing the NLGN3 Gene Asperger syndrome susceptibility X-linked type 2 Genetic Test, it is recommended to provide a clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members who may be affected by NLGN3 Gene Asperger syndrome susceptibility X-linked type 2.
Important Note
It is important to understand that genetic testing alone cannot diagnose Asperger syndrome. A qualified healthcare professional should evaluate an individual’s symptoms and medical history comprehensively to make a diagnosis. Our NLGN3 Gene Asperger syndrome susceptibility X-linked type 2 Genetic Test serves as a helpful tool in identifying genetic mutations associated with an increased risk for Asperger syndrome.

The NLGN3 gene is a gene located on the X chromosome that codes for a protein called neuroligin-3. This protein is involved in the formation and maintenance of synapses, which are the connections between neurons in the brain. Mutations in the NLGN3 gene have been associated with an increased risk for Asperger syndrome, which is a type of autism spectrum disorder characterized by difficulties in social interaction and communication, as well as repetitive behaviors and restricted interests. NGS genetic testing, or next-generation sequencing genetic testing, is a type of genetic testing that uses advanced sequencing technologies to analyze multiple genes or even the entire genome at once. This type of testing can be used to identify mutations in the NLGN3 gene that may be associated with an increased risk for Asperger syndrome. However, it is important to note that genetic testing alone cannot diagnose Asperger syndrome, and a diagnosis should be made by a qualified healthcare professional based on a comprehensive evaluation of an individual’s symptoms and medical history. |
