PGAM2 Gene Glycogen Storage Disease Type 10 NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction to the Test
The PGAM2 Gene Glycogen Storage Disease Type 10 NGS Genetic DNA Test is an essential diagnostic tool for individuals suspected of having Glycogen Storage Disease Type 10. This genetic condition affects the metabolism of glycogen, leading to various health complications. By utilizing Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, this test accurately identifies mutations in the PGAM2 gene, which is crucial for diagnosing this metabolic disorder.
What the Test Measures
This test specifically detects mutations in the PGAM2 gene, which plays a vital role in glycogen metabolism. Identifying these mutations helps in confirming the diagnosis of Glycogen Storage Disease Type 10.
Who Should Consider This Test
Individuals who should consider this test include:
- Those with a family history of Glycogen Storage Disease Type 10.
- Patients exhibiting symptoms such as muscle weakness, exercise intolerance, or hypoglycemia.
- Individuals undergoing genetic counseling to understand their risk factors.
