CDK5RAP2 Gene Microcephaly Autosomal Recessive Type 3 NGS Genetic DNA Test
The CDK5RAP2 Gene Microcephaly Autosomal Recessive Type 3 NGS Genetic DNA Test is a specialized genetic test designed to identify mutations in the CDK5RAP2 gene, which are associated with the condition known as microcephaly. Microcephaly is characterized by an abnormally small head size and can lead to various developmental issues. This test is crucial for early diagnosis and understanding the genetic basis of this condition, enabling better management and support for affected individuals and their families.
What the Test Measures
This genetic test utilizes Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to detect specific mutations in the CDK5RAP2 gene. By analyzing the DNA sample, the test can confirm whether a patient has inherited mutations that may contribute to microcephaly.
Who Should Consider This Test
Individuals or families with a history of microcephaly or related developmental delays should consider this test. Symptoms that may indicate the need for testing include:
- Abnormally small head size at birth or during early development
- Developmental delays or disabilities
- Family history of genetic disorders, particularly those associated with microcephaly
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Early diagnosis of genetic conditions, allowing for timely intervention and management.
- Informed family planning and understanding of risks for future pregnancies.
- Access to genetic counseling and support services for affected families.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the CDK5RAP2 Gene Microcephaly Test will be provided within 3 to 4 weeks. A genetic counselor will help interpret the results, explaining what they mean for the individual and their family. Understanding the genetic basis of microcephaly can guide treatment options and support services.

Pre-Test Instructions
Before undergoing the CDK5RAP2 Gene Microcephaly Test, a clinical history of the patient is required. A genetic counseling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by the CDK5RAP2 gene. Sample types accepted include blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
