The PMP22 Gene CMT1A Genetic Test is a specialized diagnostic procedure designed to identify mutations in the PMP22 gene, which are closely associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A). CMT1A is a hereditary neurological disorder that affects the peripheral nerves, leading to muscle weakness and sensory problems primarily in the arms and legs. The test is crucial for confirming a diagnosis, understanding the risk of passing the condition to offspring, and guiding treatment decisions.

Performed at DNA Labs UAE, a leading facility in genetic diagnostics, this test offers a reliable analysis of the PMP22 gene. DNA Labs UAE utilizes advanced genetic sequencing technologies to detect the presence of the duplication or other mutations in the PMP22 gene that are indicative of CMT1A. This precise approach ensures high accuracy in diagnosis, which is essential for effective management and counseling of affected individuals and their families.

The cost of the PMP22 Gene CMT1A Genetic Test at DNA Labs UAE is 4400 AED. This investment covers the comprehensive analysis and the professional interpretation of results by experienced genetic counselors. Given the specialized nature of this test and the profound impact it can have on patients’ lives, it represents a significant step towards personalized medicine in the realm of neurological disorders.

Description

PMP22 Gene CMT1A Genetic Test

At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the PMP22 Gene CMT1A Genetic Test at a cost of AED 4400.0.

Test Details

The PMP22 gene is associated with the development of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A), a hereditary neuropathy that affects the peripheral nerves. This gene is located on chromosome 17 and encodes a protein called peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP22), which is crucial for the formation and maintenance of myelin in the peripheral nervous system.

Our PMP22 Gene CMT1A Genetic Test utilizes NGS (next-generation sequencing) technology, allowing for rapid and accurate sequencing of DNA. By analyzing the PMP22 gene using NGS, we can identify any mutations or variations that may be associated with CMT1A.

This test serves as a diagnostic tool to confirm a suspected diagnosis of CMT1A or to identify individuals who may be at risk for developing the condition. It is typically performed on a blood sample or a saliva sample.

The results of this test are crucial for healthcare providers in determining the best course of treatment and management for the patient. However, it is important to note that genetic testing for CMT1A is not always necessary or appropriate, and should be discussed with a healthcare provider or genetic counselor.

Furthermore, it is important to consider the implications of testing on family members, as CMT1A is an inherited condition. A genetic counseling session is recommended to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by PMP22 Gene CMT1A.
