LaboratoryUBE3A gene full mutation analysis in Blood or Tissue by Sequencing
Definition
Full gene sequence analysis of the UBE3A (ubiquitin protein ligase E3A) gene is performed for the confirmation of a diagnosis of Angelman syndrome in patients who have previously tested negative by methylation analysis. Bidirectional sequence analysis is performed to detect a mutation in all coding regions and intron/exon boundaries of the UBE3A gene.
