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.
