TMEM216 Gene Joubert syndrome type 2 Genetic Test
Components: TMEM216 Gene Joubert syndrome type 2 Genetic Test
Price: 4400.0 AED
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
Pre Test Information: Clinical History of Patient who is going for TMEM216 Gene Joubert syndrome type 2 NGS Genetic DNA Test A Genetic Counselling session to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with TMEM216 Gene Joubert syndrome type 2
Test Details:
The TMEM216 gene is associated with Joubert syndrome type 2, a rare genetic disorder that affects the development of the brain. Joubert syndrome is characterized by a specific brain malformation called the “molar tooth sign,” which can be observed on brain imaging scans.
NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic test that allows for the analysis of multiple genes simultaneously. In the case of Joubert syndrome type 2, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify mutations or variations in the TMEM216 gene.
By analyzing the TMEM216 gene through NGS, geneticists can determine if there are any genetic changes or mutations that may be causing or contributing to the development of Joubert syndrome type 2 in an individual. This information can be helpful for diagnosis, genetic counseling, and potentially guiding treatment options.
It is important to note that genetic testing for Joubert syndrome type 2 should be conducted and interpreted by qualified healthcare professionals, such as geneticists or genetic counselors, who can provide accurate and personalized information based on the individual’s specific circumstances.
