NHLRC1 Gene Myoclonic Epilepsy of Lafora NGS Genetic Test
Myoclonic epilepsy of Lafora is a rare genetic disorder that affects the nervous system. It is caused by mutations in the NHLRC1 gene, which is responsible for coding a protein that helps regulate the metabolism of glycogen in the body.
The symptoms of myoclonic epilepsy of Lafora typically begin in adolescence and include seizures, muscle twitches, and difficulty with movement and coordination. The disease is progressive and can lead to severe neurological impairment and early death.
Diagnosis
The diagnosis of myoclonic epilepsy of Lafora is typically made through a combination of clinical evaluation, EEG testing, and genetic testing. EEG testing can help identify the characteristic electrical abnormalities in the brain that are associated with the disease, while genetic testing can confirm the presence of mutations in the NHLRC1 gene.
NGS Genetic Test
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) Genetic Testing is a powerful tool that can be used to identify mutations in the NHLRC1 gene that cause myoclonic epilepsy of Lafora. This testing method is highly accurate and can detect even very rare mutations in the gene.
NGS Genetic Testing is performed using a small sample of blood or tissue from the patient. The DNA is extracted from the sample and then sequenced using advanced technology that can rapidly analyze large amounts of genetic data. The results of the test can be used to confirm a diagnosis of myoclonic epilepsy of Lafora and to help guide treatment decisions.
Cost
The cost of NGS Genetic Testing for myoclonic epilepsy of Lafora varies depending on the specific testing method used and the laboratory performing the test. In India, the cost of this test typically ranges from INR 20,000 to INR 30,000.
Conclusion
NGS Genetic Testing is a valuable tool for the diagnosis of myoclonic epilepsy of Lafora caused by mutations in the NHLRC1 gene. This testing method is highly accurate and can provide important information that can help guide treatment decisions. If you or a loved one is experiencing symptoms of myoclonic epilepsy of Lafora, speak with your healthcare provider about the possibility of genetic testing.
