SCN2A Gene Convulsions benign familial infantile 3 Genetic Test
Test Details
The SCN2A gene is associated with a rare genetic disorder called benign familial infantile convulsions type 3 (BFIC3). This disorder is characterized by seizures that begin in infancy and typically resolve by the age of two. However, in some cases, seizures may continue into childhood.
NGS genetic testing can be used to identify mutations in the SCN2A gene that are associated with BFIC3. This type of testing involves sequencing the entire gene to identify any changes or mutations that may be present. Genetic testing can help diagnose BFIC3 and can also be used for carrier testing for family members of affected individuals. It can also be used for prenatal testing in families with a known SCN2A mutation.
Early diagnosis and management of BFIC3 can help improve outcomes and prevent complications associated with seizures. Therefore, genetic testing can play an important role in the diagnosis and management of this rare disorder.
