Pre Test Information: Clinical History of Patient who is going for DCX Gene Lissencephaly, X-linked type 1 NGS Genetic DNA Test. A Genetic Counselling session to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with DCX Gene Lissencephaly, X-linked type 1 NGS Genetic DNA Test gene DCX
Test Details: DCX gene lissencephaly, X-linked type 1 NGS genetic test is a genetic test that analyzes the DCX gene for mutations associated with lissencephaly, a rare brain development disorder. Lissencephaly is characterized by the absence or underdevelopment of brain folds (gyri) and a smooth brain surface (agyria or pachygyria). This genetic test uses next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology to identify variations in the DCX gene. Mutations in the DCX gene are responsible for X-linked lissencephaly type 1, which primarily affects males. Females can also be carriers of the mutation and may exhibit milder symptoms. The NGS genetic test for DCX gene lissencephaly helps in the diagnosis of affected individuals, identifies carriers, and provides information for genetic counseling. Early diagnosis through genetic testing can help in the management and treatment of the condition. It is important to note that this genetic test specifically targets the DCX gene and is not a comprehensive analysis of all genes associated with lissencephaly. Other genes, such as LIS1 (PAFAH1B1) and TUBA1A, are also associated with lissencephaly and may require separate testing if suspected. Genetic testing for lissencephaly should be performed by a qualified healthcare professional or genetic counselor who can interpret the results and provide appropriate guidance and support.
