DNAJC5 Gene Ceroid Lipofuscinosis Neuronal Type 4 NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction
The DNAJC5 Gene Ceroid Lipofuscinosis Neuronal Type 4 NGS Genetic DNA Test is a state-of-the-art diagnostic tool that utilizes Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze genetic variations associated with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL). This condition is a type of metabolic disorder that affects the nervous system, leading to progressive neurological decline. Early detection through genetic testing is vital for managing the disease effectively.
What the Test Measures
This genetic test specifically measures mutations in the DNAJC5 gene, which are linked to neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 4. By identifying these mutations, healthcare providers can better understand the genetic basis of the disorder and its potential impact on the patient’s health.
Who Should Consider This Test
This test is recommended for individuals who exhibit symptoms of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis or have a family history of the disorder. Symptoms may include:
- Progressive loss of vision
- Seizures
- Motor skill decline
- Cognitive impairment
Additionally, those with risk factors or clinical indications suggesting a metabolic disorder should consider undergoing this test.
Benefits of Taking the Test
Taking the DNAJC5 Gene Ceroid Lipofuscinosis Neuronal Type 4 NGS Genetic DNA Test provides numerous benefits, including:
- Early diagnosis of potential genetic disorders
- Informed decision-making regarding treatment options
- Genetic counseling for family planning
- Access to targeted therapies and support resources
Understanding Your Results
Results from the DNAJC5 Gene Ceroid Lipofuscinosis Neuronal Type 4 NGS Genetic DNA Test will be provided in a detailed report. It is essential to discuss these results with a healthcare provider who can offer guidance on the implications of the findings and recommend appropriate next steps.
Test Pricing
| Test Name | Discount Price (KSh) | Regular Price (KSh) |
|---|---|---|
| DNAJC5 Gene Ceroid Lipofuscinosis Neuronal Type 4 NGS Genetic DNA Test | 40,000 | 56,000 |
Sample Collection and Turnaround Time
The test can be performed using a blood sample, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card. The turnaround time for results is approximately 3 to 4 weeks.
Pre-Test Instructions
Before taking the test, it is essential to have a clinical history assessment and attend a genetic counseling session to create a pedigree chart of family members affected by Ceroid lipofuscinosis neuronal type 4.
