SURF1 Gene Leigh Syndrome due to COX Deficiency Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the SURF1 Gene Leigh syndrome due to COX deficiency genetic test. This test helps in the diagnosis of Leigh syndrome, a severe neurological disorder associated with the SURF1 gene.
Test Components and Price
The test is priced at 3200.0 AED. The sample condition required for testing includes blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Report Delivery
The test results are typically delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
Method
The SURF1 Gene Leigh syndrome due to COX deficiency genetic test utilizes NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology.
Test Type and Doctor
This test is specifically designed for the diagnosis of neurological disorders and is performed by a neurologist.
Test Department
The test is conducted in our Genetics department.
Pre-Test Information
Prior to the test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient who is undergoing the SURF1 Gene Leigh syndrome due to COX deficiency NGS genetic DNA test. Additionally, a genetic counseling session is recommended to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by SURF1 Gene Leigh syndrome due to COX deficiency.
Test Details
The SURF1 gene is associated with Leigh syndrome due to COX deficiency, a severe neurological disorder. Mutations in the SURF1 gene lead to a deficiency in the cytochrome c oxidase (COX) enzyme, which is involved in cellular respiration. The NGS genetic testing method allows for the analysis of the SURF1 gene, identifying any mutations or variants that may be present. This comprehensive testing approach provides valuable information about the patient’s genetic makeup.
Importance of Genetic Testing
Genetic testing for Leigh syndrome due to COX deficiency can confirm a diagnosis, provide a prognosis, and offer potential treatment options. It can also be used for carrier testing in individuals with a family history of the condition or for prenatal testing in couples at risk of having a child with the disorder. Additionally, genetic testing can assist with genetic counseling and family planning decisions.

Test Details |
The SURF1 gene is associated with a form of Leigh syndrome, a severe neurological disorder. Leigh syndrome due to COX deficiency is caused by mutations in the SURF1 gene, leading to a deficiency in the cytochrome c oxidase (COX) enzyme, which is involved in cellular respiration. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing can be used to analyze the SURF1 gene and identify any mutations or variants that may be present. This type of testing allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes, providing a comprehensive view of the patient’s genetic makeup. By identifying mutations in the SURF1 gene, NGS genetic testing can help confirm a diagnosis of Leigh syndrome due to COX deficiency. It can also be used for carrier testing in individuals with a family history of the condition or for prenatal testing in couples at risk of having a child with the disorder. Genetic testing can provide valuable information for patients and their families, including a definitive diagnosis, prognosis, and potential treatment options. It can also help with genetic counseling and family planning decisions. |
