NLGN3 Gene Autism susceptibility X-linked type 1 Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the NLGN3 Gene Autism susceptibility X-linked type 1 Genetic Test to help diagnose and understand autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in individuals. This test is specifically designed to identify mutations in the NLGN3 gene, which is located on the X chromosome and plays a role in the development and function of synapses in the brain.
Test Details
The NLGN3 gene is involved in the connections between nerve cells in the brain, known as synapses. Mutations in this gene have been linked to an increased susceptibility to ASD, particularly in males. Our NGS (next-generation sequencing) technology allows us to analyze multiple genes at once, providing a comprehensive view of an individual’s genetic makeup.
It is important to note that not all cases of ASD are caused by mutations in the NLGN3 gene or other genetic factors. Environmental and non-genetic factors can also contribute to the development of ASD. Therefore, a comprehensive evaluation by a healthcare professional is necessary for a diagnosis.
Test Components and Price
The NLGN3 Gene Autism susceptibility X-linked type 1 Genetic Test is priced at 4400.0 AED. The test can be performed using a blood sample, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Report Delivery
Once the test is conducted, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
Test Type and Department
The NLGN3 Gene Autism susceptibility X-linked type 1 Genetic Test falls under the category of Neurological Disorders. It is conducted by our Genetics department.
Referring Doctor
This test is typically referred by a Neurologist, who specializes in diagnosing and treating neurological conditions.
Pre Test Information
Before conducting the NLGN3 Gene Autism susceptibility X-linked type 1 Genetic Test, it is important to gather the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session may be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by NLGN3 Gene Autism susceptibility, X-linked type 1.
Conclusion
The NLGN3 Gene Autism susceptibility X-linked type 1 Genetic Test offered at DNA Labs UAE is a valuable tool in diagnosing and understanding autism spectrum disorder. By analyzing mutations in the NLGN3 gene, we can provide important insights into an individual’s genetic makeup and potential susceptibility to ASD. It is important to note that this test is just one piece of the puzzle, and a comprehensive evaluation by a healthcare professional is necessary for a proper diagnosis.

NGS (next-generation sequencing) genetic testing can be used to identify mutations in the NLGN3 gene.

It can be useful for individuals with a family history of ASD or those who have symptoms of the disorder. However, it is important to note that not all cases of ASD are caused by mutations in the NLGN3 gene or other genetic factors. Environmental and other non-genetic factors can also play a role in the development of ASD. A diagnosis of ASD typically involves a comprehensive evaluation by a healthcare professional, including a review of medical history, behavioral observations, and standardized assessments. |
