ATP1A2 Gene Familial Hemiplegic Migraine Type 2 Genetic Test
Introduction
The ATP1A2 gene is associated with familial hemiplegic migraine type 2 (FHM2), a rare genetic disorder characterized by severe headaches that are accompanied by temporary paralysis on one side of the body. The ATP1A2 gene provides instructions for making a protein called the Na+/K+ ATPase alpha-2 subunit, which is involved in the transport of sodium and potassium ions across cell membranes. Mutations in the ATP1A2 gene can disrupt the normal functioning of this protein, leading to altered ion transport and changes in the excitability of neurons in the brain, which can trigger migraines.

Pre Test Information
Clinical History of Patient who is going for ATP1A2 Gene Familial Hemiplegic Migraine Type 2 NGS Genetic DNA Test. A Genetic Counselling session to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with ATP1A2 Gene Familial Hemiplegic Migraine Type 2.
Test Details
NGS (next-generation sequencing) genetic testing can be used to identify mutations in the ATP1A2 gene that are associated with FHM2. This type of genetic testing uses advanced sequencing technologies to rapidly analyze large amounts of DNA, allowing for the detection of subtle genetic changes that may be missed by other testing methods. NGS genetic testing can provide a definitive diagnosis of FHM2, which can help guide treatment and management strategies for affected individuals and their families.
