REEP1 Gene SPG31 Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the REEP1 Gene SPG31 Genetic Test to diagnose hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) associated with the REEP1 gene. HSP is characterized by progressive weakness and stiffness in the legs, making it difficult to walk.
Test Details
The REEP1 gene is analyzed using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, which allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes. This comprehensive evaluation of a person’s genetic makeup helps identify mutations or variations in the REEP1 gene that may be causing SPG31.
Test Components
- Price: 4400.0 AED
- Sample Condition: Blood or Extracted DNA or One drop Blood on FTA Card
- Report Delivery: 3 to 4 Weeks
- Method: NGS Technology
- Test Type: Neurological Disorders
- Doctor: Neurologist
- Test Department: Genetics
Pre Test Information
Prior to the REEP1 Gene SPG31 Genetic Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a genetic counseling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by SPG31.
Importance of NGS Genetic Testing
NGS genetic testing offers a comprehensive analysis of a person’s genetic makeup, allowing healthcare professionals to confirm a diagnosis of SPG31 by identifying mutations in the REEP1 gene. This information is valuable for genetic counseling, family planning, and potentially identifying targeted treatment options in the future.
Please note that NGS genetic testing may not be available in all healthcare settings. It should be performed by qualified professionals trained in genetic analysis and interpretation. It is crucial to discuss genetic testing results with a healthcare provider or genetic counselor to fully understand their implications and potential impact on an individual’s health.

Test Details |
The REEP1 gene is associated with a type of hereditary spastic paraplegia called SPG31. Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a group of genetic disorders characterized by progressive weakness and stiffness in the legs, leading to difficulty walking. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a method used to analyze multiple genes simultaneously, providing a comprehensive evaluation of a person’s genetic makeup. In the case of SPG31, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify mutations or variations in the REEP1 gene that may be causing the condition. By analyzing the REEP1 gene through NGS, healthcare professionals can determine if a person has a mutation in this gene, which can help confirm a diagnosis of SPG31. This information can also be useful in genetic counseling, family planning, and potentially identifying targeted treatment options in the future. It’s important to note that NGS genetic testing may not be available in all healthcare settings and should be performed by qualified professionals trained in genetic analysis and interpretation. Additionally, genetic testing results should always be discussed with a healthcare provider or genetic counselor to fully understand their implications and potential impact on an individual’s health. |
