SCA-7 SPINOCEREBELLAR ATAXIA ATXN7 GENE MUTATION Test
Are you experiencing symptoms of progressive ataxia, vision impairment, and other neurological symptoms? The SCA-7 (Spinocerebellar Ataxia) genetic test offered by DNA Labs UAE can help diagnose the cause of these symptoms.
Test Details
The SCA-7 genetic test is designed to detect mutations in the ATXN7 gene, which is responsible for causing SCA-7. SCA-7 is a rare neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the loss of muscle coordination and vision impairment.
To perform the test, a sample of your DNA is required. This can be obtained through a blood or saliva sample. The DNA sample is then analyzed for any mutations or abnormalities in the ATXN7 gene.
If a mutation is detected, it confirms a diagnosis of SCA-7. This information can be crucial in providing a definitive diagnosis for individuals showing symptoms of the condition, especially when other diagnostic methods are inconclusive.
Test Cost
The cost of the SCA-7 SPINOCEREBELLAR ATAXIA ATXN7 GENE MUTATION Test at DNA Labs UAE is AED 590.0.
Sample Requirements
- Sample Condition: 4 mL (2 mL min.) whole blood in 1 Lavender top (EDTA) tube.
- Sample Shipping: Ship refrigerated. DO NOT FREEZE.
Report Delivery
Sample must be submitted by Tuesday 11 am to receive the report by Saturday.
Method
The SCA-7 SPINOCEREBELLAR ATAXIA ATXN7 GENE MUTATION Test is performed using PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) and Fragment Analysis techniques.
Test Type
The SCA-7 SPINOCEREBELLAR ATAXIA ATXN7 GENE MUTATION Test falls under the category of Neurologic Disorder-Ataxia.
Doctor
This test is recommended to be ordered by a Neurologist.
Test Department
The SCA-7 SPINOCEREBELLAR ATAXIA ATXN7 GENE MUTATION Test is conducted in the Molecular Diagnostics department at DNA Labs UAE.
Pre Test Information
Before undergoing the test, it is mandatory to fill the Genomics Clinical Information Requisition Form (Form 20).
Genetic Counseling
Genetic counseling is often recommended before and after the test to discuss the implications of the results and provide support to individuals and families affected by SCA-7.
Don’t let the symptoms of SCA-7 go undiagnosed. Visit DNA Labs UAE for the SCA-7 SPINOCEREBELLAR ATAXIA ATXN7 GENE MUTATION Test today.

The SCA-7 (Spinocerebellar Ataxia) genetic test is used to detect mutations in the ATXN7 gene, which is responsible for causing SCA-7. SCA-7 is a rare neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive ataxia (loss of muscle coordination), vision impairment, and other neurological symptoms. The test involves analyzing a person’s DNA sample, usually obtained through a blood or saliva sample. The DNA is then examined for any mutations or abnormalities in the ATXN7 gene. If a mutation is detected, it confirms a diagnosis of SCA-7. Genetic testing for SCA-7 can be helpful in several ways. It can provide a definitive diagnosis for individuals showing symptoms of the condition, especially when other diagnostic methods are inconclusive. It can also help identify carriers of the mutated gene who may be at risk of passing it on to their children. It is important to note that genetic testing for SCA-7 is typically done in specialized genetic testing laboratories and requires a healthcare professional’s order. Genetic counseling is often recommended before and after the test to discuss the implications of the results and provide support to individuals and families affected by SCA-7. |
