SCN1A Gene Early Infantile Epileptic Encephalopathy Type 6 Genetic Test
Test Name: SCN1A Gene Early Infantile Epileptic Encephalopathy Type 6 Genetic Test
Components: Blood or Extracted DNA or One drop Blood on FTA Card
Price: 4400.0 AED
Sample Condition: Blood or Extracted DNA or One drop Blood on FTA Card
Report Delivery: 3 to 4 Weeks
Method: NGS Technology
Test Type: Neurological Disorders
Doctor: Neurologist
Test Department: Genetics
Pre Test Information: Clinical History of Patient who is going for SCN1A Gene Early Infantile Epileptic Encephalopathy Type 6 NGS Genetic DNA Test. A Genetic Counselling session to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with SCN1A Gene Early Infantile Epileptic Encephalopathy Type 6.
Test Details: The SCN1A gene is associated with Early Infantile Epileptic Encephalopathy Type 6 (EIEE6), a rare genetic disorder characterized by seizures that begin in the first months of life. The disorder is caused by mutations in the SCN1A gene, which provides instructions for making a protein called Nav1.1 that helps regulate the flow of sodium ions into cells in the brain.
NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic testing that can analyze multiple genes simultaneously, allowing for a more comprehensive evaluation of genetic mutations. In the case of EIEE6, NGS testing can identify mutations in the SCN1A gene that may be causing the disorder. NGS genetic testing for EIEE6 may involve sequencing the entire SCN1A gene or specific regions of the gene known to be associated with the disorder.
The results of the test can help confirm a diagnosis of EIEE6 and guide treatment decisions. Additionally, genetic testing can provide valuable information for family members who may be at risk of inheriting the disorder.
