TAF1 Gene DYT3 Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the TAF1 Gene DYT3 Genetic Test for the diagnosis of DYT3 dystonia, a rare neurological disorder. This test can help identify mutations in the TAF1 gene, which is associated with DYT3 dystonia.
Test Details
DYT3 dystonia is characterized by involuntary muscle contractions, repetitive movements, and abnormal postures. It typically begins in childhood or adolescence and primarily affects the legs and lower body, leading to difficulties with walking and balance.
The TAF1 gene provides instructions for a protein involved in regulating gene expression, which is the process of turning genes on and off in different cells and tissues. Mutations in the TAF1 gene can disrupt this process and contribute to the development of DYT3 dystonia.
Our TAF1 Gene DYT3 Genetic Test utilizes NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology, which allows for the sequencing of large portions of the genome simultaneously. This method is more efficient and cost-effective compared to traditional Sanger sequencing methods.
Test Components and Price
The TAF1 Gene DYT3 Genetic Test is priced at 4400.0 AED. The test requires a blood sample, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA Card.
Report Delivery and Test Department
After the sample is collected, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks. The test is conducted in our Genetics department, overseen by a Neurologist.
Pre Test Information
Prior to the test, we recommend providing the clinical history of the patient who will undergo the TAF1 Gene DYT3 NGS Genetic DNA Test. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by TAF1 Gene DYT3.
Benefits of the TAF1 Gene DYT3 Genetic Test
NGS testing for the TAF1 gene can aid in the diagnosis of DYT3 dystonia and help inform treatment decisions for affected individuals and their families. This comprehensive genetic test provides valuable information in a shorter amount of time, allowing for more efficient and targeted management of the disorder.

NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic testing that can sequence large portions of the genome at once. This allows for the identification of mutations in genes associated with specific diseases, such as DYT3 dystonia. NGS testing is more efficient and cost-effective than traditional Sanger sequencing methods, and can provide more comprehensive genetic information in a shorter amount of time. NGS testing for the TAF1 gene can help diagnose DYT3 dystonia and inform treatment decisions for affected individuals and their families. |
