DHCR7 Gene Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome NGS Genetic Test
Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome (SLOS) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the body’s ability to produce cholesterol. It is caused by a mutation in the DHCR7 gene, which is responsible for producing an enzyme that is necessary for the body to make cholesterol. This deficiency results in a wide range of symptoms, including developmental delays, intellectual disability, physical abnormalities, and behavioral problems.
There are several different methods for diagnosing SLOS, including physical exams, blood tests, and genetic testing. One of the most reliable and accurate ways to diagnose SLOS is through NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) Genetic Testing.
Symptoms of Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome
The symptoms of SLOS can vary widely between individuals, but some of the most common symptoms include:
- Developmental delays
- Intellectual disability
- Physical abnormalities, such as small head size, cleft palate, and extra fingers or toes
- Behavioral problems, including self-injury and aggression
- Gastrointestinal problems
- Difficulty with coordination and movement
Diagnosing Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome
Diagnosing SLOS can be challenging, as many of the symptoms are similar to those of other disorders. However, genetic testing can provide a definitive diagnosis in most cases. NGS Genetic Testing is a powerful tool that can identify mutations in the DHCR7 gene, which is responsible for SLOS.
NGS testing is a highly accurate and reliable method of genetic testing, and it can provide results in just a few weeks. The test involves sequencing the entire genome to identify mutations that may be responsible for the disorder. Once the mutations are identified, a genetic counselor can help interpret the results and provide guidance on treatment options.
