SCN1A Gene Early Infantile Epileptic Encephalopathy Type 6 NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction
The SCN1A Gene Early Infantile Epileptic Encephalopathy Type 6 NGS Genetic DNA Test is a specialized genetic test designed to identify mutations in the SCN1A gene, which are known to cause early infantile epileptic encephalopathy (EIEE). This test is vital for diagnosing and managing neurological disorders in infants, allowing for timely and appropriate interventions.
What the Test Measures
This test specifically measures genetic variations in the SCN1A gene, which plays a crucial role in the proper functioning of sodium channels in the brain. Identifying mutations in this gene can help confirm a diagnosis of EIEE and guide treatment options.
Who Should Consider This Test?
Parents and guardians should consider this test for infants exhibiting the following symptoms:
- Severe seizures that begin in the first year of life
- Developmental delays
- Unusual movements or behaviors
