Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis Gene Panel: Cost, Symptoms, and Diagnosis

Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (NCL) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the nervous system. It is also known as Batten disease. There are 13 different types of NCL, and each type is caused by a different gene mutation. The Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis Gene Panel is a genetic test that can identify mutations in the genes that cause NCL. In this blog, we will discuss the cost, symptoms, and diagnosis of NCL.

Cost of Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis Gene Panel

The cost of the Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis Gene Panel in India is INR 36000. This test is not covered by insurance, and the cost may vary depending on the laboratory where the test is performed. It is important to check with the laboratory about the cost and any other requirements before getting the test.

Symptoms of Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis

The symptoms of NCL vary depending on the type of NCL. The early symptoms of NCL are usually seen in childhood and include:

• Vision loss
• Seizures
• Muscle stiffness and weakness
• Behavioral changes
• Loss of motor skills
• Mental decline

As the disease progresses, the symptoms become more severe and can lead to blindness, seizures, and loss of ability to walk, talk, and eat.

Diagnosis of Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis

The diagnosis of NCL is based on clinical symptoms, family history, and genetic testing. A doctor may suspect NCL based on the symptoms and conduct a physical examination and neurological tests. Genetic testing is the most reliable way to diagnose NCL. The Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis Gene Panel can identify mutations in the genes that cause NCL. Genetic counseling is also recommended for families with a history of NCL.

Conclusion

Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis is a rare genetic disorder that affects the nervous system. The Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis Gene Panel is a genetic test that can identify mutations in the genes that cause NCL. The cost of the test in India is INR 36000. The early symptoms of NCL are usually seen in childhood and include vision loss, seizures, and muscle stiffness and weakness. The diagnosis of NCL is based on clinical symptoms, family history, and genetic testing. Genetic counseling is recommended for families with a history of NCL. Early diagnosis and treatment can improve the quality of life for people with NCL.

If you suspect that you or a loved one may have NCL, it is important to consult a doctor and discuss the possibility of genetic testing.
