PNPLA6 Gene SPG39 NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction
The PNPLA6 Gene SPG39 NGS Genetic DNA Test is a cutting-edge diagnostic tool that utilizes Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze genetic variations associated with neurological disorders. This test plays a crucial role in identifying mutations in the PNPLA6 gene, which are linked to a range of hereditary neurological conditions. Understanding these genetic factors can significantly impact patient care and treatment options.
What the Test Measures
This genetic test detects mutations in the PNPLA6 gene, which encodes a protein involved in lipid metabolism in the nervous system. By identifying specific genetic changes, healthcare providers can better understand the underlying causes of neurological symptoms and tailor treatment strategies accordingly.
Who Should Consider This Test
The PNPLA6 Gene SPG39 NGS Genetic DNA Test is recommended for individuals who exhibit symptoms of neurological disorders, such as:
- Unexplained muscle weakness
- Cognitive decline
- Coordination and balance issues
- Family history of neurological disorders
Patients with a known family history of PNPLA6 gene mutations or hereditary neurological conditions should also consider this test for proactive management and early intervention.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Accurate diagnosis of genetic causes of neurological disorders.
- Guidance for personalized treatment plans based on genetic findings.
- Informed family planning decisions for at-risk individuals.
- Access to genetic counseling for better understanding of results.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the PNPLA6 Gene SPG39 NGS Genetic DNA Test will indicate whether any mutations are present. A genetic counselor will help interpret these results, providing insights into the implications for health and family members. It is important to discuss any findings with a healthcare provider to understand their significance fully.
Test Pricing
| Test Name | Discount Price | Regular Price |
|---|---|---|
| PNPLA6 Gene SPG39 NGS Genetic DNA Test | 40,000 KSh | 56,000 KSh |
Additional Information
The turnaround time for results is approximately 3 to 4 weeks, and samples can be collected through blood or extracted DNA, including one drop of blood on an FTA card. Prior to the test, a clinical history review and a genetic counseling session are recommended to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by PNPLA6 gene mutations.
