SPTAN1 Gene Early Infantile Epileptic Encephalopathy Type 5 NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction
The SPTAN1 Gene Early Infantile Epileptic Encephalopathy Type 5 NGS Genetic DNA Test is a vital diagnostic tool for identifying genetic mutations associated with severe epilepsy and neurological disorders in infants. This test employs Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, allowing for a comprehensive analysis of the SPTAN1 gene, which is crucial in the development and function of the nervous system.
What the Test Measures
This test specifically measures mutations in the SPTAN1 gene, which can lead to early infantile epileptic encephalopathy. By identifying these mutations, healthcare providers can gain insights into the underlying genetic causes of neurological symptoms.
Who Should Consider This Test
Parents should consider this test for their infants if they observe symptoms such as:
- Severe seizures that begin in infancy
- Developmental delays or regressions
- Abnormal movements or muscle tone
- Family history of epilepsy or neurological disorders
