SPAST Gene SPG4 Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the SPAST Gene SPG4 Genetic Test for individuals suspected of having hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP), specifically the SPG4 subtype. HSP is a group of inherited neurological disorders characterized by progressive stiffness and weakness of the legs. SPG4 is the most common subtype, accounting for about 40% of cases.
Test Details
The SPAST gene is associated with SPG4-related HSP. Our NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing method allows us to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. With this test, we can identify mutations or variations in the SPAST gene that are associated with HSP. The purpose of this test is to provide a definitive diagnosis for individuals suspected of having SPG4-related HSP and to offer carrier testing for individuals with a family history of the condition.
Test Components
- 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
Test Price
The cost of the SPAST Gene SPG4 Genetic Test is 4400.0 AED.
Pre Test Information
Prior to the test, we recommend a genetic counseling session to gather the clinical history of the patient and draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with SPAST Gene SPG4. This information helps in interpreting the test results and providing appropriate counseling and support.
It’s important to note that genetic testing should always be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional or genetic counselor.

The SPAST gene is associated with a condition called hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP), specifically the SPG4 subtype. HSP is a group of inherited neurological disorders characterized by progressive stiffness and weakness of the legs. SPG4 is the most common subtype of HSP, accounting for about 40% of cases. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic testing that uses advanced sequencing technology to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the context of SPG4, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify mutations or variations in the SPAST gene that are associated with HSP. The purpose of SPG4 NGS genetic testing is to provide a definitive diagnosis for individuals suspected of having SPG4-related HSP. It can also be used for carrier testing in individuals with a family history of SPG4-related HSP. By identifying specific mutations in the SPAST gene, NGS genetic testing can help determine the genetic cause of HSP in an individual, guide treatment decisions, and provide information about the risk of passing on the condition to future generations. It’s important to note that genetic testing should always be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional or genetic counselor, who can help interpret the results and provide appropriate counseling and support. |
