PEX16 Gene Zellweger Syndrome Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the PEX16 Gene Zellweger Syndrome Genetic Test to help diagnose and manage this rare genetic disorder. Zellweger syndrome affects the development and function of peroxisomes in cells, which play a crucial role in metabolic processes.
Test Components and Price
The PEX16 Gene Zellweger Syndrome Genetic Test is priced at 4400.0 AED. The test requires a blood sample, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Report Delivery
After conducting the test, we deliver the report within 3 to 4 weeks.
Method
We utilize Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze the individual’s DNA for variations or mutations within the PEX16 gene.
Test Type and Doctor
The PEX16 Gene Zellweger Syndrome Genetic Test falls under the category of Neurological Disorders. Our team of experienced neurologists handles this test in our Genetics department.
Pre Test Information
Before conducting the PEX16 Gene Zellweger Syndrome Genetic Test, we require the patient’s clinical history. Additionally, a genetic counseling session is conducted to create a pedigree chart of family members affected by this genetic disorder.
Test Details
Zellweger syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the PEX16 gene. This gene is responsible for the proper functioning of peroxisomes, which are involved in metabolic processes such as fatty acid breakdown and lipid production.
Our NGS genetic test analyzes the individual’s DNA to identify any variations or mutations within the PEX16 gene. By detecting mutations that disrupt the normal function of this gene, we can provide an accurate diagnosis of Zellweger syndrome.
NGS technology allows for the simultaneous sequencing of multiple genes or even the entire genome, making it a powerful tool for genetic testing. With the identification of PEX16 gene mutations, healthcare professionals can offer appropriate medical management and genetic counseling to affected individuals and their families.

Test Details |
The PEX16 gene is associated with Zellweger syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that affects the development and function of the peroxisomes in cells. Peroxisomes are responsible for various metabolic processes, including the breakdown of fatty acids and the production of certain lipids. A Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) genetic test for the PEX16 gene involves analyzing the individual’s DNA to identify any variations or mutations within the gene. This test can help diagnose Zellweger syndrome by detecting mutations that disrupt the normal function of the PEX16 gene. NGS technology allows for the simultaneous sequencing of multiple genes or even the entire genome, making it a powerful tool for genetic testing. By identifying mutations in the PEX16 gene, healthcare professionals can provide an accurate diagnosis of Zellweger syndrome and offer appropriate medical management and genetic counseling for affected individuals and their families. |
