SPG21 Gene SPG21 NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction to the SPG21 Gene SPG21 NGS Genetic DNA Test
The SPG21 Gene SPG21 NGS Genetic DNA Test is a cutting-edge diagnostic tool that utilizes Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze genetic material. This test is crucial for identifying mutations in the SPG21 gene, which are associated with various neurological disorders, particularly those affecting movement and coordination.
What the Test Measures
This test specifically detects genetic alterations in the SPG21 gene, which can lead to hereditary spastic paraplegia and other neurodegenerative conditions. By analyzing the DNA, healthcare providers can gain insights into the genetic basis of symptoms presented by the patient.
Who Should Consider This Test?
Individuals who exhibit symptoms such as:
- Progressive weakness in the legs
- Difficulty in walking or maintaining balance
- Family history of neurological disorders
These symptoms may indicate a genetic predisposition to conditions linked with the SPG21 gene, making this test a valuable step in understanding one’s health risks.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Early detection of genetic disorders
- Informed decision-making regarding treatment options
- Understanding familial risks and implications
- Access to genetic counseling for better management of potential conditions
Understanding Your Results
Results from the SPG21 Gene SPG21 NGS Genetic DNA Test will be interpreted by qualified genetic specialists. A positive result may indicate a higher risk of developing neurological disorders, while a negative result can provide reassurance. It is essential to discuss the results with a healthcare provider to understand their implications fully.
Test Name and Price
| Test Name | Discount Price | Regular Price |
|---|---|---|
| SPG21 Gene SPG21 NGS Genetic DNA Test | 40,000 KSh | 56,000 KSh |
Additional Information
Turnaround time for results is approximately 3 to 4 weeks. The sample type required for this test can be blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card. Prior to the test, a clinical history of the patient along with a genetic counseling session to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by the SPG21 gene is recommended.
