FOLR1 Gene Neurodegeneration Due To Cerebral Folate Transport Deficiency NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction to the Test
The FOLR1 Gene Neurodegeneration Test is a specialized genetic test that focuses on diagnosing cerebral folate transport deficiency, a condition that can lead to significant neurological disorders. This test is crucial for patients who exhibit symptoms of neurodegeneration and provides insights into genetic factors that may contribute to their condition.
What The Test Measures
This test measures variations in the FOLR1 gene that are associated with cerebral folate transport deficiency. By utilizing Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, the test provides a comprehensive analysis of the genetic material, allowing for precise identification of mutations that may affect folate transport in the brain.
Who Should Consider This Test
Patients experiencing symptoms such as:
- Developmental delays
- Neurological regression
- Seizures
- Behavioral issues
Additionally, individuals with a family history of neurological disorders or those who have been diagnosed with related conditions may benefit from this test.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Accurate diagnosis of cerebral folate transport deficiency.
- Informed decision-making regarding treatment options.
- Understanding genetic risks for family members.
- Access to genetic counseling and support.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the FOLR1 Gene Neurodegeneration Test will provide insights into the presence of specific genetic mutations. A genetic counselor will assist in interpreting these results, discussing their implications, and guiding you through potential next steps.
