NDUFA11 Gene Mitochondrial Complex I Deficiency NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction to the NDUFA11 Gene Test
The NDUFA11 Gene Mitochondrial Complex I Deficiency NGS Genetic DNA Test is a specialized genetic examination aimed at diagnosing mitochondrial disorders linked to neurological conditions. Mitochondrial diseases can significantly impact an individual’s quality of life, making early diagnosis essential. This test utilizes Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze the NDUFA11 gene, providing insights into potential genetic mutations.
What the Test Measures
This test specifically detects mutations in the NDUFA11 gene, which is critical for the proper functioning of mitochondrial complex I. This complex is essential for energy production in cells, and deficiencies can lead to severe neurological disorders.
Who Should Consider This Test?
Patients exhibiting symptoms of mitochondrial disorders, such as:
- Severe muscle weakness
- Neurological issues
- Developmental delays
- Unexplained seizures
- Family history of mitochondrial diseases
If you or a family member experience these symptoms, consulting a healthcare provider about this test is advisable.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Accurate diagnosis of mitochondrial disorders.
- Guidance for treatment options and management plans.
- Informed family planning through genetic counseling.
- Understanding the risk of passing on genetic conditions to offspring.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the NDUFA11 Gene test will provide information on the presence of mutations. A genetic counselor will help interpret these results, discussing their implications for your health and potential treatment options.
Test Pricing
| Test Name | Discount Price | Regular Price |
|---|---|---|
| NDUFA11 Gene Mitochondrial Complex I Deficiency NGS Genetic DNA Test | 40,000 KSh | 56,000 KSh |
Additional Information
Turnaround time for results is approximately 3 to 4 weeks. The sample type required can be blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA Card. Prior to the test, a clinical history of the patient and a genetic counseling session to create a pedigree chart of family members affected by the NDUFA11 gene deficiency are recommended.
