ETFA Gene AcylCoA Multiple Dehydrogenase Deficiency NGS Genetic DNA Test
The ETFA Gene AcylCoA Multiple Dehydrogenase Deficiency NGS Genetic DNA Test is a state-of-the-art diagnostic tool that utilizes Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify genetic mutations associated with Acyl-CoA multiple dehydrogenase deficiency. This test plays a critical role in diagnosing metabolic disorders that can significantly impact an individual’s health and quality of life.
Importance of the Test
Understanding genetic predispositions is vital for early diagnosis and management of metabolic disorders. The ETFA test provides valuable insights that can guide treatment decisions and inform family planning, especially for those with a family history of metabolic conditions.
What the Test Measures
This genetic test measures the presence of mutations in the ETFA gene, which is responsible for encoding a critical enzyme involved in fatty acid metabolism. By detecting these mutations, the test can confirm or rule out Acyl-CoA multiple dehydrogenase deficiency.
Who Should Consider This Test?
Individuals who may benefit from this test include:
- Those exhibiting symptoms of metabolic disorders, such as unexplained fatigue, muscle weakness, or hypoglycemia.
- Individuals with a family history of metabolic disorders.
- Patients referred by a general physician or genetic counselor for further investigation.
Benefits of Taking the Test
Taking the ETFA Gene AcylCoA Multiple Dehydrogenase Deficiency NGS Genetic DNA Test offers several benefits:
- Provides a definitive diagnosis of Acyl-CoA multiple dehydrogenase deficiency.
- Helps in tailoring personalized treatment plans.
- Informs family planning decisions by identifying carriers of the gene mutation.
- Facilitates early intervention and management of symptoms.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the ETFA test will indicate whether mutations are present in the ETFA gene. A genetic counselor will help interpret these results, providing guidance on the implications for health and family members.

Turnaround time for results is approximately 3 to 4 weeks, and the sample type required is either blood or extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card. Prior to testing, a clinical history and a genetic counseling session are recommended to discuss family history and draw a pedigree chart of affected family members.
