SLC9A6 Gene Mental retardation X-linked syndromic Christianson type Genetic Test
Genetic testing plays a crucial role in diagnosing and understanding rare genetic disorders. One such disorder is Mental Retardation, X-linked Syndromic, Christianson type (MRXSCH), which primarily affects males and is characterized by intellectual disability, speech and language delays, seizures, autistic-like behaviors, and problems with motor coordination.
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the SLC9A6 Gene Mental retardation X-linked syndromic Christianson type Genetic Test to identify any mutations or variations in the SLC9A6 gene that may be responsible for MRXSCH. This test is conducted using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, which allows for the analysis of multiple genes simultaneously.

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 test, it is important to gather clinical history of the patient who is going for the SLC9A6 Gene Mental retardation X-linked syndromic Christianson type Genetic Test. Additionally, a genetic counseling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with MRXSCH.
Test Process
The SLC9A6 Gene Mental retardation X-linked syndromic Christianson type Genetic Test requires a DNA sample from the individual being tested. This can be obtained through a blood or saliva sample. The DNA is then sequenced using NGS technology to identify any changes in the SLC9A6 gene that may be responsible for MRXSCH.
Test Results and Benefits
The results of the SLC9A6 Gene Mental retardation X-linked syndromic Christianson type Genetic Test can help confirm a diagnosis of MRXSCH. This information is valuable for genetic counseling and management of the condition. It is important to note that genetic testing should be performed and interpreted by qualified healthcare professionals, such as geneticists or genetic counselors, who can provide appropriate guidance and support.

Test Details |
The SLC9A6 gene is associated with a rare genetic disorder called Mental Retardation, X-linked Syndromic, Christianson type (MRXSCH). This disorder primarily affects males and is characterized by intellectual disability, speech and language delays, seizures, autistic-like behaviors, and problems with motor coordination. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing refers to a high-throughput sequencing technology that can analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the case of MRXSCH, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify any mutations or variations in the SLC9A6 gene that may be responsible for the disorder. This type of genetic testing involves obtaining a DNA sample from the individual being tested, usually through a blood or saliva sample. The DNA is then sequenced using NGS technology to identify any changes in the SLC9A6 gene. The results of the test can help confirm a diagnosis of MRXSCH and provide valuable information for genetic counseling and management of the condition. It’s important to note that genetic testing should be performed and interpreted by qualified healthcare professionals, such as geneticists or genetic counselors, who can provide appropriate guidance and support. |
