TUBB4A Gene DYT4 NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction
The TUBB4A Gene DYT4 NGS Genetic DNA Test is a specialized diagnostic tool designed to identify mutations in the TUBB4A gene, which are linked to various neurological disorders. This test employs Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, allowing for a comprehensive analysis of genetic material to provide insights into an individual’s genetic health.
Importance of the Test
Understanding genetic predispositions is vital for patients experiencing symptoms of neurological disorders. This test not only helps in diagnosing conditions but also aids in guiding treatment decisions and family planning.
What the Test Measures
The TUBB4A Gene DYT4 NGS Genetic DNA Test measures the presence of mutations in the TUBB4A gene. These mutations can lead to various types of dystonia, a movement disorder characterized by involuntary muscle contractions.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is recommended for individuals exhibiting symptoms such as:
- Involuntary muscle contractions
- Abnormal postures or movements
- Family history of neurological disorders
- Neurological symptoms without a clear diagnosis
If you have a family history of TUBB4A-related disorders, consulting a neurologist for this test is advisable.
Benefits of Taking the Test
Taking the TUBB4A Gene DYT4 NGS Genetic DNA Test provides several benefits:
- Accurate diagnosis of genetic conditions
- Informed decision-making regarding treatment options
- Potential for early intervention
- Understanding of hereditary risks for family members
Understanding Your Results
Results from the TUBB4A Gene DYT4 NGS Genetic DNA Test will indicate whether mutations are present. A genetic counseling session is recommended to help interpret the results and discuss their implications for you and your family.
Test Pricing
| Test Name | Discount Price | Regular Price |

| TUBB4A Gene DYT4 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 for this test can be either blood or extracted DNA, or even a single drop of blood on an FTA card.
Before the test, it is important to provide a clinical history and participate in a genetic counseling session to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by TUBB4A gene disorders.
