NTNG1 Gene Autism – Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the NTNG1 Gene Autism test to help diagnose and manage autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This genetic test analyzes the NTNG1 gene, which is located on chromosome 1 and plays a crucial role in the development of the nervous system.
Test Details
The NTNG1 gene encodes a protein that belongs to the netrin family of extracellular matrix proteins. This family is involved in important processes such as axon guidance, cell migration, and synapse formation in the nervous system.
Studies have shown that mutations or variations in the NTNG1 gene may be associated with ASD. ASD is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by social communication deficits, repetitive behaviors, and restricted interests.
Our NTNG1 Gene Autism test utilizes Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze a person’s DNA for mutations or variations in the NTNG1 gene. This test can help diagnose or confirm a genetic condition, identify carriers of a genetic disorder, and guide treatment decisions.
It’s important to note that genetic testing alone cannot diagnose ASD, as it is a complex disorder with multiple genetic and environmental factors. A diagnosis of ASD is typically made through a comprehensive evaluation by a healthcare professional, including developmental and behavioral assessments.
Test Components and Price
The NTNG1 Gene Autism test at DNA Labs UAE is priced at 4400.0 AED. The test can be conducted using blood samples, extracted DNA, or even one drop of blood on an FTA Card.
Report Delivery
Once the sample is received, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks. Our team ensures accurate and timely reporting to provide the necessary information for diagnosis and management.
Genetic Counseling and Pre-Test Information
Prior to undergoing the NTNG1 Gene Autism test, it is recommended to have a genetic counseling session. During this session, a genetic counselor will gather clinical history and draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with NTNG1 Gene Autism or related disorders. This information helps in understanding the inheritance pattern and assessing the risk of developing ASD.
Test Department and Doctor
The NTNG1 Gene Autism test is conducted in our Genetics department under the supervision of a Neurologist. Our highly qualified and experienced team ensures accurate testing and interpretation of results.
At DNA Labs UAE, we are committed to providing reliable and comprehensive genetic testing services. Our NTNG1 Gene Autism test offers valuable insights into the genetic factors associated with ASD, assisting in early diagnosis and personalized treatment approaches.

NTNG1 (Netrin G1) gene is located on chromosome 1 and encodes a protein that belongs to the netrin family of extracellular matrix proteins. The netrin family plays a crucial role in the development of the nervous system, including axon guidance, cell migration, and synapse formation.
Studies have shown that mutations or variations in the NTNG1 gene may be associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). ASD is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by social communication deficits, repetitive behaviors, and restricted interests.
NGS (Next-generation sequencing) genetic tests are used to analyze a person’s DNA for mutations or variations in specific genes, including NTNG1. These tests can help diagnose or confirm a genetic condition, identify carriers of a genetic disorder, and guide treatment decisions.
It’s important to note that genetic testing alone cannot diagnose ASD, as it is a complex disorder with multiple genetic and environmental factors. A diagnosis of ASD is typically made through a comprehensive evaluation by a healthcare professional, including developmental and behavioral assessments. |
