Test Details
Gene amyotrophy hereditary neuralgic (GAN) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the nervous system and causes muscle weakness and wasting. It is caused by mutations in the SETX gene, which provides instructions for making a protein called senataxin. The senataxin protein is involved in the repair of damaged DNA and the regulation of gene expression.
NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic testing that uses advanced technology to analyze multiple genes at once. This type of testing can be used to identify mutations in the SETX gene that cause GAN.
Hereditary neuralgic amyotrophy (HNA) is a related disorder that is also caused by mutations in the SETX gene. HNA is characterized by recurrent episodes of severe pain and muscle weakness in the shoulders and arms. NGS genetic testing can be used to diagnose both GAN and HNA, as well as to identify carriers of the mutations that cause these disorders. This information can be used to inform reproductive decisions and to provide genetic counseling to affected individuals and their families.
