ATXN3 Gene Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3 Autosomal Dominant NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction
The ATXN3 Gene Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3 Autosomal Dominant NGS Genetic DNA Test is a specialized genetic test that plays a critical role in the diagnosis of Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3 (SCA3), also known as Machado-Joseph Disease. This condition is characterized by progressive degeneration of the nervous system, leading to motor coordination issues, balance problems, and other neurological symptoms. Understanding your genetic predisposition is essential for early intervention and management of the disease.
