NALCN Gene Neuroaxonal Neurodegeneration Infantile with Facial Dysmorphism NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction
The NALCN Gene Neuroaxonal Neurodegeneration Infantile with Facial Dysmorphism NGS Genetic DNA Test is a cutting-edge diagnostic tool that plays a crucial role in identifying genetic causes of neurodegenerative disorders in infants. This test utilizes Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze the NALCN gene, which is associated with neuroaxonal degeneration and specific facial dysmorphisms. Early detection through this test can significantly improve patient outcomes by enabling timely interventions.
What the Test Measures
This genetic test specifically measures mutations in the NALCN gene, which are linked to neurodegenerative conditions manifesting in infancy. By identifying these mutations, healthcare providers can better understand the underlying causes of neurodevelopmental delays and other related symptoms.
Who Should Consider This Test
Parents and guardians should consider this test for infants displaying symptoms such as:
- Developmental delays
- Facial dysmorphism
- Neurological abnormalities
- Family history of neurodegenerative disorders
Individuals with these risk factors may benefit from genetic counseling and testing to determine if there is a hereditary component to their child’s condition.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Early diagnosis of potential genetic disorders
- Informed decision-making regarding treatment options
- Access to targeted therapies and management plans
- Family planning and genetic counseling for future pregnancies
Understanding Your Results
Results from the NALCN Gene Neuroaxonal Neurodegeneration Test can provide valuable insights into the genetic factors affecting your child. A genetic counselor will help interpret the findings and discuss potential implications for treatment and management. It’s essential to understand that not all genetic mutations lead to clinical symptoms, and further evaluation may be necessary.

Turnaround time for results is approximately 3 to 4 weeks, and the sample type required is blood or extracted DNA (or one drop of blood on an FTA card). Prior to testing, a clinical history of the patient is necessary, along with a genetic counseling session to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with the NALCN gene.
