COX15 Gene Leigh Syndrome NGS Genetic DNA Test: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Cost

Leigh syndrome is a rare and progressive genetic disorder that affects the central nervous system. It is caused by mutations in several genes, including the COX15 gene. COX15 is responsible for the production of an enzyme called cytochrome c oxidase, which is essential for the function of the mitochondria.

Leigh syndrome caused by COX15 gene mutations is also known as COXPD23 or Leigh syndrome with leukodystrophy. The symptoms of Leigh syndrome can vary greatly, but typically include:

• Developmental delays and regression
• Weakness and loss of muscle tone
• Seizures
• Respiratory failure
• Visual and hearing problems

Diagnosis of Leigh syndrome typically involves a combination of physical exams, imaging tests, and genetic testing. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) genetic testing can be used to identify mutations in the COX15 gene that cause Leigh syndrome. This type of testing involves the analysis of DNA samples to identify genetic variants that may be causing disease.

DNA Labs India offers NGS genetic testing for COX15 gene mutations associated with Leigh syndrome. The cost of this test is INR 20,000. Results are typically available within 2-3 weeks after the sample is received.

NGS genetic testing for Leigh syndrome can help with early diagnosis and treatment of the disease. It can also provide information about the risk of passing the disease on to future generations. DNA Labs India offers genetic counseling services to help individuals and families better understand the implications of genetic testing results.

If you or a loved one is experiencing symptoms of Leigh syndrome or has a family history of the disease, consider genetic testing to better understand the cause of the disease and potential treatment options.
