Spinal Muscular Atrophy Gene Panel Test
Introduction
Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Gene Panel Test is a genetic test offered by DNA Labs UAE. This test analyzes a group of genes associated with spinal muscular atrophy, a rare genetic disorder that affects the muscles used for movement, breathing, and swallowing.
Test Components
- Sterile container
- Sterile Normal Saline Container
- EDTA Vacutainer
Price
The cost of the Spinal Muscular Atrophy Gene Panel Test is 7200.0 AED.
Sample Condition
The test can be performed using the following sample conditions:
- Amniotic fluid
- Chorionic villi
- Peripheral blood
Report Delivery
The report for the Spinal Muscular Atrophy Gene Panel Test is typically delivered within 4-6 weeks.
Method
The test is performed using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology.
Test Type
The Spinal Muscular Atrophy Gene Panel Test falls under the category of Genetics.
Doctor
The test can be requested by a General Physician.
Test Department
The test is conducted in the Genetics department of DNA Labs UAE.
Pre Test Information
Spinal Muscular Atrophy Gene Panel Test requires a doctor’s prescription. However, the prescription is not applicable for surgery and pregnancy cases or individuals planning to travel abroad.
Test Details
The Spinal Muscular Atrophy Gene Panel Test analyzes a group of genes associated with spinal muscular atrophy. The panel includes analysis of the SMN1 and SMN2 genes, which are the most common causes of SMA. Other genes that may be included in the panel are genes associated with rare forms of SMA caused by mutations in the CHKB, DYNC1H1, or BICD2 genes. The test is typically performed using DNA obtained from a blood or saliva sample and can help diagnose SMA and guide treatment decisions.

Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Gene Panel is a genetic test that analyzes a group of genes associated with spinal muscular atrophy, a rare genetic disorder that affects the muscles used for movement, breathing, and swallowing. The panel typically includes analysis of the SMN1 and SMN2 genes, which are the most common causes of SMA. Other genes that may be included in the panel are genes associated with SMA variants, such as the rare forms of SMA caused by mutations in the CHKB, DYNC1H1, or BICD2 genes. The test is typically performed using DNA obtained from a blood or saliva sample and can help diagnose SMA and guide treatment decisions. |
