Pre Test Information
Prior to undergoing the NHLRC1 Gene Myoclonic Epilepsy of Lafora NGS Genetic DNA Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a genetic counseling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with NHLRC1 Gene Myoclonic Epilepsy of Lafora.
Test Details
The NHLRC1 gene is associated with myoclonic epilepsy of Lafora, a rare genetic disorder. Our NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing method allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes to identify any mutations or variations associated with this disorder. Specifically, NGS testing can identify mutations in the NHLRC1 gene.
During the NGS test, the DNA of an individual is sequenced to determine the specific sequence of nucleotides in the NHLRC1 gene. This sequence is then compared to a reference sequence to identify any differences or mutations. If a mutation is found, it can help confirm a diagnosis of myoclonic epilepsy of Lafora.
NGS testing is a powerful tool for genetic diagnosis as it provides a comprehensive assessment of an individual’s genetic profile. It can help identify the underlying cause of a genetic disorder and provide valuable information for treatment and management decisions.

Test Details |
The NHLRC1 gene is associated with a rare genetic disorder called myoclonic epilepsy of Lafora. This disorder is characterized by recurrent seizures, myoclonus (involuntary muscle jerks), and progressive neurological deterioration. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a method used to analyze multiple genes simultaneously to identify any mutations or variations that may be associated with a particular disorder. In the case of myoclonic epilepsy of Lafora, NGS testing can be used to identify mutations in the NHLRC1 gene. The NGS test involves sequencing the DNA of an individual to determine the specific sequence of nucleotides in the NHLRC1 gene. This information is then compared to a reference sequence to identify any differences or mutations. If a mutation is found, it can help confirm a diagnosis of myoclonic epilepsy of Lafora. NGS testing is a powerful tool for genetic diagnosis as it allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes, providing a comprehensive assessment of an individual’s genetic profile. It can help in identifying the underlying cause of a genetic disorder and provide valuable information for treatment and management decisions. |
