PRX Gene Dejerine-Sottas Disease Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the PRX Gene Dejerine-Sottas Disease Genetic Test to help diagnose and understand this rare genetic disorder. This test is designed to identify mutations in the PRX gene, which is responsible for the development and maintenance of peripheral nerves. By analyzing the DNA sample using NGS technology, we can provide valuable information about the presence of Dejerine-Sottas Disease (DSD) and its potential impact on the patient and their family.
Test Components and Price
The PRX Gene Dejerine-Sottas Disease Genetic Test is priced at 4400.0 AED. The test requires a sample of either blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Report Delivery and Method
Once the sample is collected, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks. The analysis is performed using NGS technology, which allows for the rapid sequencing of large amounts of DNA, ensuring accurate and comprehensive results.
Test Type and Department
The PRX Gene Dejerine-Sottas Disease Genetic Test falls under the category of Neurological Disorders. Our expert neurologists in the Genetics department will oversee the entire testing process.
Pre Test Information
Prior to the test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient who is undergoing the PRX Gene Dejerine-Sottas Disease NGS Genetic DNA Test. Additionally, a genetic counseling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by PRX Gene Dejerine-Sottas Disease. This information helps in better understanding the genetic factors and potential risks associated with the condition.
About Dejerine-Sottas Disease
Dejerine-Sottas Disease (DSD) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the peripheral nerves, leading to muscle weakness and sensory loss. The condition is caused by mutations in the PRX gene, which plays a crucial role in the development and maintenance of peripheral nerves.
The Power of NGS Technology
NGS technology is a cutting-edge method used for genetic testing. It enables the rapid sequencing of large amounts of DNA, making it possible to detect even rare mutations in the PRX gene. By utilizing NGS, we can accurately identify any mutations that may be causing DSD.
How the Test Works
The PRX Gene Dejerine-Sottas Disease NGS Genetic Test involves collecting a sample of DNA, typically from blood or saliva. This sample is then sequenced using NGS technology to analyze the PRX gene. The resulting data is thoroughly analyzed to identify any mutations that may be present and potentially causing DSD.
Benefits of Genetic Testing
Genetic testing can provide valuable information for individuals with symptoms of DSD and their family members who may be at risk. A positive genetic test result can confirm a diagnosis of DSD, while a negative result can help rule out the condition or suggest alternative diagnoses. Additionally, genetic testing can offer insights into the likelihood of passing the condition on to future generations.
Important Considerations
It is essential to note that genetic testing is not a substitute for clinical evaluation and diagnosis by a healthcare professional. Individuals experiencing symptoms of DSD should seek medical evaluation and genetic counseling to determine if genetic testing is appropriate for them.

| Test Details |
Dejerine-Sottas disease (DSD) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the peripheral nerves, causing muscle weakness and sensory loss. It is caused by mutations in the PRX gene, which codes for a protein involved in the development and maintenance of peripheral nerves. NGS (next-generation sequencing) genetic testing is a powerful tool for identifying mutations in the PRX gene and diagnosing DSD. NGS allows for the rapid sequencing of large amounts of DNA, making it possible to detect even rare mutations in the PRX gene. The PRX gene Dejerine-Sottas disease NGS genetic test involves collecting a sample of DNA, typically from a blood or saliva sample, and sequencing the PRX gene using NGS technology. The resulting data is analyzed to identify any mutations in the PRX gene that may be causing DSD. Genetic testing can be helpful for individuals with symptoms of DSD, as well as their family members who may be at risk for the condition. A positive genetic test result can confirm a diagnosis of DSD, while a negative result can rule out the condition or suggest alternative diagnoses.
