Genetic Lab Blog: TIMM8A Gene Opticoacoustic Nerve Atrophy with Dementia Genetic Test
Are you or your loved ones experiencing progressive hearing loss, vision problems, and neurological abnormalities? These symptoms could be signs of a rare genetic disorder called Opticoacoustic nerve atrophy with dementia, also known as Mohr-Tranebjaerg syndrome. At DNA Labs UAE, we offer a comprehensive genetic test to diagnose this syndrome, known as the TIMM8A Gene Opticoacoustic Nerve Atrophy with Dementia Genetic Test.
Test Details
The TIMM8A gene is associated with Opticoacoustic nerve atrophy with dementia syndrome. This genetic disorder is characterized by progressive hearing loss, optic atrophy, and neurological abnormalities leading to dementia. Our genetic test, which utilizes NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology, can analyze multiple genes simultaneously and identify any mutations or variations in the TIMM8A gene that may be causing the syndrome.
Test Components and Price
The TIMM8A Gene Opticoacoustic Nerve Atrophy with Dementia Genetic Test is priced at 4400.0 AED. The test requires a sample of either blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Report Delivery and Method
After the sample is collected, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks. Our NGS technology ensures accurate and reliable results for this genetic test.
Test Type and Doctor
The TIMM8A Gene Opticoacoustic Nerve Atrophy with Dementia Genetic Test falls under the category of Ear Nose Throat Disorders. It is recommended to consult with an ENT doctor for this test.
Test Department and Pre-Test Information
The test is conducted in our Genetics department. Before undergoing the TIMM8A gene test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. In the case of GJB2 Gene Deafness with keratopachydermia and constrictions of fingers and toes, a genetic counseling session is required to draw a pedigree chart of affected family members. This will help in the accurate interpretation of the test results.
Benefits of the Test
By identifying specific genetic changes in the TIMM8A gene, our NGS testing can help confirm a diagnosis, provide information about disease prognosis, and guide treatment options for individuals suspected of having Opticoacoustic nerve atrophy with dementia syndrome. Additionally, it can help identify carriers of the gene mutation within families, allowing for genetic counseling and family planning decisions.
Don’t let the symptoms go unnoticed. Get tested for the TIMM8A Gene Opticoacoustic Nerve Atrophy with Dementia Genetic Test at DNA Labs UAE today and take the first step towards managing your health.
