MEF2C Gene Mental Retardation, Autosomal Dominant Type 20 NGS Genetic Test
MEF2C Gene Mental Retardation, Autosomal Dominant Type 20 (also known as MEF2C-related intellectual disability) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the development and function of the brain. It is caused by mutations in the MEF2C gene that disrupt the normal activity of the protein it produces.
Individuals with MEF2C-related intellectual disability have developmental delays, intellectual disability, and behavioral problems. Symptoms can range from mild to severe and may include:
- Delayed speech and language development
- Delayed motor development
- Seizures
- Autistic-like behaviors
- Hyperactivity
- Aggression
MEF2C-related intellectual disability is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, which means that a person only needs to inherit one copy of the mutated gene to develop the disorder. It can be diagnosed through genetic testing using NGS (next-generation sequencing) technology.
The cost of the MEF2C Gene Mental Retardation, Autosomal Dominant Type 20 NGS Genetic Test in India is approximately INR 20,000.
Diagnosing MEF2C-related Intellectual Disability
MEF2C-related intellectual disability can be diagnosed through genetic testing using NGS technology. This test analyzes the MEF2C gene for mutations that are known to cause the disorder.
The test is typically ordered by a doctor or genetic counselor if a person has symptoms of intellectual disability and a family history of the disorder. It can also be ordered if there is no family history of the disorder but the individual has symptoms that suggest MEF2C-related intellectual disability.
The test involves taking a small sample of blood or saliva and analyzing the DNA for mutations in the MEF2C gene. The results of the test can help confirm a diagnosis of MEF2C-related intellectual disability and provide information about the inheritance pattern of the disorder.
Conclusion
MEF2C-related intellectual disability is a rare genetic disorder that affects the development and function of the brain. It is caused by mutations in the MEF2C gene and is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. Symptoms can range from mild to severe and include delayed speech and language development, delayed motor development, seizures, autistic-like behaviors, hyperactivity, and aggression.
