SCA-5 SPINOCEREBELLAR ATAXIA SPTBN2 GENE MUTATION Test
Welcome to DNA Labs UAE, where we offer the SCA-5 SPINOCEREBELLAR ATAXIA SPTBN2 GENE MUTATION Test. This genetic test is designed to detect mutations in the SPTBN2 gene, which is associated with spinocerebellar ataxia type 5 (SCA-5).
Test Details
SCA-5 is a genetic disorder that affects the cerebellum and spinal cord, leading to a progressive loss of coordination and balance, along with other neurological symptoms. The SPTBN2 gene mutation test specifically looks for mutations in the SPTBN2 gene, which have been linked to SCA-5.
Test Components
- SPTBN2 Gene
Price
The cost of the SCA-5 SPINOCEREBELLAR ATAXIA SPTBN2 GENE MUTATION Test is AED 1290.0.
Sample Condition
For this test, a minimum of 2 mL and a maximum of 4 mL of whole blood in a Lavender top (EDTA) tube is required. The sample should be shipped refrigerated and must not be frozen. Additionally, a duly filled Genomics Clinical Information Requisition Form (Form 20) is mandatory.
Report Delivery
The sample should be submitted by Tuesday at 11 am, and the report will be delivered on Saturday.
Method
The SCA-5 SPINOCEREBELLAR ATAXIA SPTBN2 GENE MUTATION Test is performed using PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) and sequencing techniques.
Test Type
This test falls under the category of Neurologic Disorder-Ataxia.
Doctor
The test is conducted by a Neurologist.
Test Department
The SCA-5 SPINOCEREBELLAR ATAXIA SPTBN2 GENE MUTATION Test is conducted in the Molecular Diagnostics department.
Pre Test Information
A duly filled Genomics Clinical Information Requisition Form (Form 20) is mandatory before conducting this test.
Overview
The SCA-5 SPINOCEREBELLAR ATAXIA SPTBN2 GENE MUTATION Test is a genetic test that analyzes a person’s DNA to identify any mutations in the SPTBN2 gene. These mutations are associated with SCA-5, a genetic disorder that affects the cerebellum and spinal cord. Individuals with SCA-5 experience a progressive loss of coordination and balance, along with other neurological symptoms.
To conduct the test, a blood or saliva sample is collected from the individual and sent to our laboratory for analysis. Using techniques such as DNA sequencing or targeted mutation analysis, our laboratory experts will identify any mutations in the SPTBN2 gene.
The results of the SPTBN2 gene mutation test can help confirm a diagnosis of SCA-5 and provide valuable information for genetic counseling and family planning. Additionally, these results can aid in the development of personalized treatment plans and targeted therapies for individuals with SCA-5.
At DNA Labs UAE, we are committed to providing accurate and reliable genetic testing services. Our SCA-5 SPINOCEREBELLAR ATAXIA SPTBN2 GENE MUTATION Test can help individuals and their healthcare providers make informed decisions regarding their health and well-being.

| Test Details | SCA-5, or spinocerebellar ataxia type 5, is a genetic disorder that affects the cerebellum and spinal cord. It is characterized by progressive loss of coordination and balance, as well as other neurological symptoms. The SPTBN2 gene mutation test is a genetic test that specifically looks for mutations in the SPTBN2 gene. Mutations in this gene have been associated with SCA-5. By analyzing a person’s DNA, this test can determine if they have any mutations in the SPTBN2 gene that may be causing or contributing to their symptoms of spinocerebellar ataxia. The test typically involves collecting a blood or saliva sample from the individual, which is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. The laboratory will use techniques such as DNA sequencing or targeted mutation analysis to identify any mutations in the SPTBN2 gene. The results of the SPTBN2 gene mutation test can help confirm a diagnosis of SCA-5 and provide valuable information for genetic counseling and family planning. It can also aid in the development of personalized treatment plans and targeted therapies for individuals with SCA-5. |
