Understanding Microcephaly Gene Panel: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Cost
Microcephaly is a rare neurological condition that is characterized by an abnormally small head size in infants. This condition is caused by genetic mutations and can lead to developmental delays, intellectual disabilities, and other health complications. DNA testing is an important diagnostic tool that can help identify the specific genetic mutations responsible for microcephaly. In this blog, we will discuss the symptoms, diagnosis, and cost of the Microcephaly Gene Panel test offered by DNA Labs India.
Symptoms of Microcephaly
The most obvious symptom of microcephaly is an abnormally small head size in infants. However, there are other symptoms that may be present as well, including:
- Developmental delays
- Intellectual disabilities
- Seizures
- Delayed speech and motor skills
- Facial abnormalities
- Hearing and vision problems
If you suspect that your child may have microcephaly, it is important to consult a doctor immediately. Early diagnosis and treatment can help manage the symptoms and improve the quality of life for the child.
Diagnosis of Microcephaly
Microcephaly is typically diagnosed through a physical examination and imaging tests such as CT scans or MRIs. DNA testing is also an important diagnostic tool that can help identify the specific genetic mutations responsible for microcephaly. The Microcephaly Gene Panel test offered by DNA Labs India is a comprehensive genetic test that analyzes more than 90 genes associated with microcephaly. This test can help identify the specific genetic mutations responsible for the condition, which can help with treatment and management.
