Shank2 Gene Autism Susceptibility Xlinked Type 17 NGS Genetic DNA Test
The Shank2 Gene Autism Susceptibility Xlinked Type 17 NGS Genetic DNA Test is a groundbreaking genetic assessment designed to identify potential genetic predispositions to autism spectrum disorders. This test utilizes Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze the SHANK2 gene, which is critical in the development and functioning of synapses in the brain. Understanding your genetic makeup can provide crucial insights into neurological disorders, allowing for early diagnosis and intervention.
What the Test Measures
This test measures variations in the SHANK2 gene, which have been associated with autism susceptibility. By identifying mutations or alterations in this gene, healthcare providers can gain a better understanding of an individual’s risk for developing autism spectrum disorders.
Who Should Consider This Test
This test is particularly recommended for:
- Individuals with a family history of autism spectrum disorders.
- Children displaying signs of developmental delays or behavioral issues.
- Parents seeking to understand their child’s genetic risks for autism.
- Patients with known neurological disorders who wish to explore genetic factors.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Early identification of genetic risks associated with autism.
- Informed decision-making for parents and caregivers.
- Access to tailored interventions and support services.
- Contributions to family planning and understanding of genetic inheritance.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the Shank2 Gene Autism Susceptibility Xlinked Type 17 NGS Genetic DNA Test will indicate whether any mutations in the SHANK2 gene have been detected. A qualified genetic counselor or healthcare provider will help interpret the results, providing guidance on the implications for the individual and their family.

Turnaround time for results is approximately 3 to 4 weeks. The sample type required for this test can be blood, extracted DNA, or even a single drop of blood on an FTA card. Prior to testing, a genetic counseling session is recommended to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by SHANK2 gene autism susceptibility.
Consult with a neurologist or genetic specialist to ensure you receive the best care and support for understanding autism and its genetic factors.
