PEX7 Gene Refsum Disease Genetic Test
Refsum disease is a rare genetic disorder associated with the PEX7 gene. This peroxisomal disorder affects the breakdown of phytanic acid, a fatty acid found in certain foods. To diagnose Refsum disease, DNA Labs UAE offers a PEX7 Gene Refsum Disease Genetic Test.

Pre Test Information
Prior to the test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient who is undergoing the PEX7 Gene Refsum Disease NGS Genetic DNA Test. Additionally, a genetic counseling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with Refsum disease.
Test Details
The PEX7 gene is responsible for Refsum disease. Mutations in this gene lead to a deficiency of the enzyme responsible for transporting phytanic acid into the peroxisomes for degradation. To analyze the PEX7 gene for mutations, Next-generation sequencing (NGS) genetic testing is used. NGS technology allows for the simultaneous sequencing of multiple genes, including PEX7, in a more efficient and cost-effective manner compared to traditional sequencing methods.
NGS genetic testing for Refsum disease can confirm a diagnosis and identify specific mutations in the PEX7 gene. This information is valuable for genetic counseling, assessing disease severity, and guiding treatment options for affected individuals and their families.
