Introduction
The Chr 15q11 Gene Angelman Syndrome NGS Genetic DNA Test is a specialized genetic test designed to detect anomalies in the 15q11 chromosome associated with Angelman Syndrome, a severe neurological disorder. This test is vital for early diagnosis and management of the condition, allowing for timely interventions that can significantly enhance the quality of life for affected individuals.
What the Test Measures
This test utilizes Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze the genetic material from the patient. It specifically looks for deletions, mutations, or other genetic changes in the 15q11 region that may lead to Angelman Syndrome.

This test is recommended for individuals showing symptoms of Angelman Syndrome, which may include:
- Developmental delays
- Speech impairment
- Severe intellectual disability
- Movement and balance disorders
- Seizures
Additionally, individuals with a family history of neurological disorders or those referred by a neurologist should consider undergoing this test.
