SUCLG1 Gene Mitochondrial DNA Depletion Syndrome Encephalomyopathic Type with Methylmalonic Aciduria NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction
The SUCLG1 Gene Mitochondrial DNA Depletion Syndrome Encephalomyopathic Type with Methylmalonic Aciduria NGS Genetic DNA Test is a cutting-edge diagnostic tool designed to detect specific genetic mutations associated with mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome. This condition can lead to severe neurological disorders and metabolic issues, making early diagnosis critical for effective management and treatment.
What the Test Measures
This test uses Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze the SUCLG1 gene, which plays a vital role in mitochondrial function. By identifying mutations in this gene, the test can confirm or rule out the presence of mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome.
Who Should Consider This Test
Individuals experiencing symptoms such as:
- Severe muscle weakness
- Neurological deficits
- Developmental delays
- Unexplained metabolic disturbances
Additionally, those with a family history of mitochondrial disorders or related symptoms should consider this test for a comprehensive evaluation.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Early diagnosis can lead to timely interventions and management.
- Understanding genetic predispositions can guide treatment options.
- Provides clarity for families regarding genetic risks.
- Helps in planning for future pregnancies and family health.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the SUCLG1 Gene Mitochondrial DNA Depletion Syndrome Test will be reviewed by a qualified geneticist. A positive result indicates a mutation in the SUCLG1 gene, confirming the diagnosis, while a negative result suggests no detectable mutations. It is essential to discuss these results with your healthcare provider for proper interpretation and next steps.
Test Pricing
| Test Name | Discount Price | Regular Price |
|---|---|---|
| SUCLG1 Gene Mitochondrial DNA Depletion Syndrome Test | 40,000 KSh | 56,000 KSh |
Additional Information
Turnaround time for results is approximately 3 to 4 weeks. The sample required for testing can be blood, extracted DNA, or a drop of blood on an FTA card. Prior to the test, a genetic counseling session is recommended to gather a detailed clinical history and to create a pedigree chart of affected family members.
