Piga Gene Early Infantile Epileptic Encephalopathy Type 20 NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction to the Test
The PIGA Gene Early Infantile Epileptic Encephalopathy Type 20 NGS Genetic DNA Test is a specialized diagnostic tool designed to detect genetic mutations related to severe neurological disorders in infants. This test utilizes Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to provide accurate and comprehensive results, helping healthcare providers make informed decisions about treatment and management.
What the Test Measures
This genetic test specifically measures the presence of mutations in the PIGA gene, which are known to cause early infantile epileptic encephalopathy type 20. By identifying these mutations, clinicians can better understand the underlying causes of a patient’s symptoms.
Who Should Consider This Test
Parents and caregivers should consider the PIGA Gene test if an infant exhibits symptoms such as:
- Severe seizures that are difficult to control
- Developmental delays
- Abnormal muscle tone
- Other neurological symptoms
Additionally, a family history of genetic disorders may warrant the need for this test, as it can assist in family planning and management of future pregnancies.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Accurate diagnosis of genetic causes of epilepsy
- Guidance for treatment options tailored to the specific genetic mutation
- Informed family planning decisions
- Access to genetic counseling for affected families
Understanding Your Results
Results from the PIGA Gene test can help healthcare providers determine the best course of action for treatment. A positive result indicates the presence of a genetic mutation, which may lead to specific therapeutic interventions. A negative result can provide reassurance and may guide further testing if necessary.
