GLB1 Gene Mucopolysaccharidosis Type 4B NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction
The GLB1 Gene Mucopolysaccharidosis Type 4B NGS Genetic DNA Test is an essential diagnostic tool designed to identify mutations in the GLB1 gene, which are responsible for Mucopolysaccharidosis Type 4B (MPS IVB). MPS IVB is a rare genetic disorder that affects the body’s ability to break down certain sugars, leading to a buildup of harmful substances in the body. Early diagnosis is crucial for effective management and treatment of this condition.
What the Test Measures
This genetic test utilizes Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze the GLB1 gene. It detects specific mutations that may lead to MPS IVB, allowing healthcare providers to understand a patient’s genetic predisposition to this disorder.
