Test Details
HSPB8 Gene Neuronopathy distal hereditary motor type 2A NGS Genetic Test is a genetic test that analyzes the HSPB8 gene for mutations associated with distal hereditary motor neuropathy type 2A (dHMN2A). Distal hereditary motor neuropathy (dHMN) is a group of genetic disorders that primarily affect the motor neurons in the distal parts of the limbs, leading to muscle weakness and wasting. dHMN2A is specifically caused by mutations in the HSPB8 gene, which encodes a protein called heat shock protein beta-8 (HSPB8).
NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology is used in this genetic test to analyze the entire coding region of the HSPB8 gene and identify any mutations or genetic variants that may be present. This comprehensive analysis allows for a more accurate diagnosis of dHMN2A and helps in understanding the underlying genetic cause of the condition.
The HSPB8 Gene Neuronopathy distal hereditary motor type 2A NGS Genetic Test is typically recommended for individuals with symptoms suggestive of dHMN2A, such as progressive muscle weakness and wasting in the distal limbs. It can also be used for carrier testing in individuals with a family history of dHMN2A. The test results can provide valuable information for genetic counseling, family planning, and personalized management of the condition.
It is important to note that this test specifically targets the HSPB8 gene and does not analyze other genes associated with dHMN or other types of motor neuron diseases.
