ATP1A3 Gene Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood Type 2 NGS Genetic Test

Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood (AHC) is a rare neurological disorder that affects children. It is characterized by recurrent episodes of paralysis that affect one side of the body or both sides. The ATP1A3 gene is one of the genes responsible for AHC. The ATP1A3 gene provides instructions for making a protein called alpha-3 Na+/K+-ATPase, which helps to regulate the transport of sodium and potassium ions in cells.

Symptoms of Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood

The symptoms of AHC can be quite variable. The most common symptom is paralysis, which can affect one side of the body or both sides. The paralysis can last from a few minutes to several hours. Other symptoms include:

• Episodes of abnormal eye movements
• Difficulty in swallowing
• Difficulty in breathing
• Seizures
• Cognitive impairment
• Muscle stiffness
• Abnormal postures

These symptoms can be disabling and can affect a child’s quality of life.

Diagnosis

A diagnosis of AHC is usually made based on the clinical symptoms. Genetic testing can also be used to confirm the diagnosis. The ATP1A3 gene is the most commonly implicated gene in AHC, and mutations in this gene can be identified using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology.

NGS Genetic Test

The NGS Genetic Test for ATP1A3 Gene Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood Type 2 is a non-invasive test that analyzes a person’s DNA to identify mutations in the ATP1A3 gene. The test is performed on a blood or saliva sample and can provide a definitive diagnosis of AHC. The test is highly accurate and can detect mutations in the ATP1A3 gene that are not detectable by other methods.

Cost of the Test

The cost of the ATP1A3 Gene Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood Type 2 NGS Genetic Test is INR 20,000. This includes the cost of the test, sample collection, and analysis. The test is not covered by insurance, and payment is required at the time of service.

Conclusion

The ATP1A3 Gene Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood Type 2 NGS Genetic Test is a valuable tool for the diagnosis of AHC. It is a non-invasive test that is highly accurate and can provide a definitive diagnosis. The cost of the test is INR 20,000, and payment is required at the time of service. If your child is showing symptoms of AHC, it is important to seek medical attention and consider genetic testing to confirm the diagnosis.
