CLN6 Additional Family Members Test
Test Cost: AED 2600.0
Symptoms and Diagnosis
CLN6 is a gene associated with the rare genetic disorder, Ceroid Lipofuscinosis, Neuronal 6. This disorder primarily affects the nervous system and can lead to a range of symptoms including vision loss, seizures, movement difficulties, and cognitive decline.
Test Details
When it comes to additional family members, it is important to consider the inheritance pattern of CLN6. This disorder is typically inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, meaning that both parents must carry a mutated copy of the CLN6 gene for their child to be affected. If a person has CLN6 and they have siblings, there is a chance that their siblings could also be carriers of the mutated gene.
If both parents are carriers, each sibling would have a 25% chance of being affected by CLN6, a 50% chance of being a carrier, and a 25% chance of not having the mutated gene at all.
Pre Test Information
It is recommended that family members of an individual with CLN6 consult with a genetic counselor or healthcare provider to understand their own risk and the potential implications for future family planning.
