GALC Gene Krabbe Disease NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction
The GALC Gene Krabbe Disease NGS Genetic DNA Test is a cutting-edge diagnostic tool designed to identify mutations in the GALC gene, which are responsible for Krabbe disease. This progressive neurological disorder primarily affects infants and young children, leading to severe developmental issues and often resulting in early mortality. Understanding your genetic predisposition to this condition is crucial for timely intervention and management.
What the Test Measures
This test detects specific mutations in the GALC gene using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology. By analyzing the genetic code, the test can identify whether an individual is a carrier of the disease or has inherited the condition.
Who Should Consider This Test?
Individuals who should consider the GALC Gene Krabbe Disease NGS Genetic DNA Test include:
- Parents with a family history of Krabbe disease
