IFRD1 Gene Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 18: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Genetic Testing Cost in India
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 18 (SCA18) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the nervous system. It is an autosomal dominant disorder, which means that a person only needs to inherit one copy of the mutated gene to develop the condition. SCA18 is caused by mutations in the IFRD1 gene, which is responsible for producing a protein that is important for the normal functioning of nerve cells in the cerebellum, a part of the brain that controls movement and coordination.
Symptoms of SCA18
The symptoms of SCA18 can vary from person to person, but typically include:
- Difficulty with coordination and balance
- Unsteady gait
- Tremors
- Difficulty with fine motor skills (such as writing or buttoning clothes)
- Slurred speech
- Double vision
- Muscle weakness and stiffness
- Problems with eye movements
These symptoms usually develop gradually over time and may become more severe as the disease progresses.
Diagnosis of SCA18
Diagnosing SCA18 can be challenging, as the symptoms can be similar to other neurological conditions. A neurologist will typically perform a physical exam and take a detailed medical history to help rule out other causes of the symptoms. They may also order imaging tests, such as an MRI or CT scan, to look for abnormalities in the brain.
A definitive diagnosis of SCA18 can be made through genetic testing. This involves analyzing a blood or saliva sample to look for mutations in the IFRD1 gene. Genetic testing can also help identify other family members who may be at risk of developing the condition.
Cost of Genetic Testing for SCA18 in India
The cost of genetic testing for SCA18 in India can vary depending on the laboratory and the specific tests that are performed. On average, a Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) genetic test for SCA18 can cost around INR 20,000.
