Test Details:
Rett Syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the MECP2 gene, located on the X chromosome. This mutation can result in a variety of genetic changes, including deletions and duplications of the MECP2 gene.
To detect deletions and duplications in the MECP2 gene, several techniques can be used:
- Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH): FISH involves labeling specific DNA sequences with fluorescent probes and visualizing them under a microscope. This technique can be used to detect deletions and duplications by comparing the number of fluorescent signals in normal and affected individuals.
- Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA): MLPA is a molecular technique that can detect copy number variations, such as deletions and duplications. It involves hybridizing specific probes to the target DNA sequence and amplifying them using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The amplified products are then analyzed to determine the copy number of the target sequence.
- Array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH): aCGH is a high-resolution technique that can detect chromosomal copy number variations, including deletions and duplications. It involves hybridizing patient DNA with a reference DNA on a microarray slide and comparing the signal intensities to identify copy number changes.
- Next-generation sequencing (NGS): NGS technologies can also be used to detect deletions and duplications in the MECP2 gene. Whole-exome sequencing or targeted gene panel sequencing can identify copy number variations by analyzing the read depth and coverage of the target region.
It is important to note that different techniques have different sensitivities and specificities for detecting deletions and duplications. Therefore, a combination of these methods may be employed to increase the accuracy of detection. Additionally, clinical evaluation and genetic counseling should also be considered in the diagnosis of Rett Syndrome.
