NHEJ1 Gene Severe Combined Immunodeficiency with Microcephaly, Growth Retardation, and Sensitivity to Ionizing Radiation
Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the immune system. One of the subtypes of SCID is caused by mutations in the NHEJ1 gene. This condition is characterized by microcephaly, growth retardation, and sensitivity to ionizing radiation. If left untreated, it can be fatal.
Symptoms
The symptoms of NHEJ1 gene severe combined immunodeficiency can vary from person to person. However, some common symptoms include:
- Recurrent infections, such as pneumonia, meningitis, and sepsis
- Chronic diarrhea
- Frequent fevers
- Delayed growth and development
- Small head size (microcephaly)
- Sensitivity to ionizing radiation
- Increased risk of cancer
Diagnosis
The diagnosis of NHEJ1 gene severe combined immunodeficiency is typically made through genetic testing. This may involve a blood test or a tissue sample. A genetic counselor or specialist can help determine if genetic testing is necessary and which type of testing is best for the individual.
NGS Genetic Test Cost
The cost of NGS Genetic Testing for NHEJ1 gene severe combined immunodeficiency can vary depending on the provider. However, at DNA Labs India, the cost for this test is INR 20,000. This test uses next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze the DNA and identify mutations that may be causing the condition.
Treatment
There is currently no cure for NHEJ1 gene severe combined immunodeficiency. Treatment typically involves managing the symptoms and complications of the condition. This may involve antibiotics to treat infections, growth hormone therapy to address growth retardation, and regular monitoring for cancer. In some cases, a bone marrow or stem cell transplant may be necessary to restore immune function.
Conclusion
NHEJ1 gene severe combined immunodeficiency is a rare and serious genetic disorder that affects the immune system. Early diagnosis and treatment are critical for managing the symptoms and complications of the condition. NGS Genetic Testing can help identify the underlying genetic mutation and guide treatment decisions. If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of NHEJ1 gene severe combined immunodeficiency, talk to a healthcare provider or genetic counselor about genetic testing options.
