DNA Labs India: FUS Gene Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 6 NGS Genetic Test
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rare neurological disorder that affects the nerve cells responsible for controlling voluntary muscles. It is also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, after the famous American baseball player who was diagnosed with the condition in 1939. ALS can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, or ethnicity, and there is currently no known cure.
ALS is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. One of the genes associated with ALS is the FUS gene, which codes for a protein involved in RNA processing. Mutations in the FUS gene have been linked to ALS type 6, a subtype of the disease that accounts for about 5-10% of all cases of ALS.
NGS Genetic Test
A genetic test can help to identify mutations in the FUS gene that may be associated with ALS type 6. One such test is the Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) Genetic Test, which uses advanced technology to sequence the entire FUS gene and identify any mutations that may be present.
The NGS Genetic Test is a highly accurate and reliable test that can help to diagnose ALS type 6 and provide important information about the prognosis and treatment options for the disease. The test is available at DNA Labs India and can be performed on a blood or saliva sample.
Symptoms of ALS Type 6
ALS type 6 is characterized by the gradual onset of muscle weakness, stiffness, and wasting, which typically begins in the hands and feet and gradually spreads to other parts of the body. Other symptoms may include difficulty swallowing, slurred speech, and muscle cramps and twitches.
The symptoms of ALS type 6 can be similar to those of other neurological disorders, which can make diagnosis difficult. A genetic test can help to confirm a diagnosis of ALS type 6 and rule out other conditions that may have similar symptoms.
Diagnosis and Cost
To diagnose ALS type 6, a doctor will typically perform a physical examination, neurological tests, and imaging studies such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scans. A genetic test such as the NGS Genetic Test may also be recommended.
The cost of the NGS Genetic Test at DNA Labs India is INR 20,000. This cost includes the test itself, as well as genetic counseling and support from our team of experts.
Conclusion
If you or a loved one are experiencing symptoms of ALS type 6, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. A genetic test such as the NGS Genetic Test can help to diagnose the condition and provide important information about treatment options and prognosis.
