The PCK1 gene is crucial for a process called gluconeogenesis, which is the production of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources, a vital function for maintaining stable blood sugar levels during fasting. Mutations in the PCK1 gene can lead to Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase (PEPCK) deficiency, a rare metabolic disorder that disrupts normal gluconeogenesis, leading to hypoglycemia and other metabolic complications.

To diagnose this condition, a specific genetic test targeting the PCK1 gene can be performed. This test is designed to identify mutations in the PCK1 gene that are responsible for the enzyme deficiency. Early diagnosis and management are crucial for preventing the potentially severe complications associated with this disorder.

In the United Arab Emirates, DNA Labs UAE offers this specialized genetic test. The cost of the test is 4400 AED. DNA Labs UAE is equipped with advanced genetic testing technologies and staffed by experts in the field of genetic diagnostics, ensuring high-quality and reliable test results. This test is crucial for individuals with a clinical presentation suggestive of PEPCK deficiency or for those with a family history of the disorder, as it can provide definitive diagnosis and guide treatment and management decisions.

PCK1 Gene Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase deficiency cytosolic Genetic Test

Welcome to DNA Labs UAE, where we offer the PCK1 Gene Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase deficiency cytosolic Genetic Test. This test is designed to diagnose individuals with PCK1 deficiency, a rare genetic disorder characterized by a lack or malfunction of the enzyme Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PCK1).

Test Details

The PCK1 enzyme is crucial in the process of gluconeogenesis, which is the synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate precursors. Our NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) Genetic Test utilizes high-throughput sequencing technologies to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the case of PCK1 deficiency, this test can identify any genetic variations or mutations in the PCK1 gene that may be responsible for the deficiency.

Test Components and Price

The cost of the PCK1 Gene Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase deficiency cytosolic Genetic Test is AED 4400.0. The test requires a sample of either blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA Card.

Report Delivery

After the sample is collected, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.

Method

We utilize NGS technology for this genetic test, which provides accurate and comprehensive sequencing data.

Test Type

The PCK1 Gene Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase deficiency cytosolic Genetic Test falls under the category of Metabolic Disorders.

Doctor and Test Department

This test can be ordered by a General Physician and is conducted in our Genetics department.

Pre Test Information

Prior to the test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient who is going for the PCK1 Gene Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase deficiency cytosolic NGS Genetic DNA Test. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase deficiency, cytosolic.

Understanding the Results

The results of the NGS genetic test will help diagnose PCK1 deficiency by confirming the presence of genetic variations or mutations in the PCK1 gene. This information is crucial in understanding the underlying cause of the deficiency and may guide treatment decisions or genetic counseling for affected individuals and their families.

Test Details

Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PCK1) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in gluconeogenesis, the process by which glucose is synthesized from non-carbohydrate precursors. PCK1 deficiency is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a lack or malfunction of this enzyme.

NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) Genetic Test refers to a type of genetic testing that utilizes high-throughput sequencing technologies to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the context of PCK1 deficiency, an NGS genetic test can be performed to identify any genetic variations or mutations in the PCK1 gene that may be responsible for the deficiency.

This genetic test involves obtaining a DNA sample, typically through a blood or saliva sample, from the individual being tested. The DNA is then sequenced using NGS technology, which generates large amounts of sequencing data. Bioinformatics analysis is then performed to identify any genetic variations or mutations in the PCK1 gene.

The results of the NGS genetic test can help diagnose PCK1 deficiency by confirming the presence of genetic variations or mutations in the PCK1 gene. This information can be useful in understanding the underlying cause of the deficiency and may guide treatment decisions or genetic counseling for affected individuals and their families.
