MPZ Gene CMT4E NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction
The MPZ Gene CMT4E NGS Genetic DNA Test is an advanced genetic test that plays a pivotal role in diagnosing Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4E (CMT4E), a hereditary neurological disorder. This test leverages Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify mutations in the MPZ gene, which are responsible for the development of this condition. Understanding one’s genetic makeup is crucial for effective management and treatment of neurological disorders.
What the Test Measures
This test specifically detects mutations in the MPZ gene, which encodes a protein essential for the proper functioning of peripheral nerves. By identifying these mutations, healthcare providers can better understand the genetic basis of the patient’s symptoms and tailor treatment options accordingly.
Who Should Consider This Test
Individuals who may benefit from the MPZ Gene CMT4E NGS Genetic DNA Test include:
- Those with a family history of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease or other neurological disorders.
- Patients exhibiting symptoms such as muscle weakness, atrophy, or sensory loss.
- Individuals seeking genetic counseling for family planning purposes.
Benefits of Taking the Test
Taking the MPZ Gene CMT4E NGS Genetic DNA Test offers several advantages:
- Early diagnosis and intervention for affected individuals.
- Informed decision-making regarding treatment and management options.
- Guidance for family members regarding their risk of inheriting the condition.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the MPZ Gene CMT4E NGS Genetic DNA Test will provide insights into whether a mutation associated with CMT4E is present. It is essential to discuss these results with a healthcare provider, who can help interpret the findings and recommend appropriate next steps.
Test Pricing
| Test Name | Discount Price | Regular Price |
|---|---|---|
| MPZ Gene CMT4E NGS Genetic DNA Test | 40,000 KSh | 56,000 KSh |
Additional Information
The test has a turnaround time of 3 to 4 weeks and requires a sample type of either blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card. Prior to the test, a clinical history of the patient is necessary, along with a genetic counseling session to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by the MPZ gene mutation.
