SCA-14 SPINOCEREBELLAR ATAXIA PRKCG GENE MUTATION Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the SCA-14 SPINOCEREBELLAR ATAXIA PRKCG GENE MUTATION Test at a cost of AED 1290.0. This test is designed to detect mutations in the PRKCG gene, which is associated with Spinocerebellar Ataxia (SCA-14).
Test Details
The SCA-14 genetic test analyzes an individual’s DNA to identify any mutations or changes in the PRKCG gene. Spinocerebellar ataxias are a group of genetic disorders that affect the cerebellum, leading to coordination and balance problems. The PRKCG gene provides instructions for producing a protein called protein kinase C gamma (PKC), which plays a role in various cellular processes.
Mutations in the PRKCG gene can result in the production of a faulty PKC protein, disrupting normal neuronal function in the cerebellum. This disruption can lead to symptoms associated with SCA-14, including an unsteady gait, difficulty with fine motor skills, and speech problems.

About SCA-14 and PRKCG Gene
SCA-14 (Spinocerebellar Ataxia) is a genetic disorder that affects the cerebellum, causing coordination and balance problems. The PRKCG gene is responsible for producing a protein called protein kinase C gamma (PKC), which is involved in various cellular processes, including signal transduction and the regulation of neuronal development and function.
Mutations in the PRKCG gene can lead to the production of a faulty PKC protein, disrupting normal neuronal function in the cerebellum. This disruption results in the symptoms associated with SCA-14, such as an unsteady gait, difficulty with fine motor skills, and speech problems.
Who Should Consider the Test?
The SCA-14 SPINOCEREBELLAR ATAXIA PRKCG GENE MUTATION Test is useful for individuals who have symptoms consistent with SCA-14 and a family history of spinocerebellar ataxias. It can also be used for genetic counseling and family planning purposes, as it provides information about the risk of passing on the mutation to future generations.
Importance of Professional Guidance
It is important to note that genetic testing for SCA-14 should be conducted by a qualified healthcare professional or genetic counselor. These professionals can interpret the test results and provide appropriate guidance and support.
