COASY Gene Neurodegeneration with Brain Iron Accumulation Type 6 Genetic Test
Cost: AED 4400.0
Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Test Details
The COASY gene is associated with a rare genetic disorder called Neurodegeneration with Brain Iron Accumulation type 6 (NBIA6). NBIA6 is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by abnormal iron accumulation in the brain, leading to a range of symptoms including movement abnormalities, cognitive decline, and psychiatric symptoms.
NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic testing that allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes, including the COASY gene. NGS can detect variations or mutations in the COASY gene that may be responsible for NBIA6.
The NGS genetic test for COASY gene mutations involves obtaining a sample of DNA, typically through a blood or saliva sample, and sequencing the DNA to identify any variations in the COASY gene. The results of the test can help confirm a diagnosis of NBIA6 and provide information about the specific genetic mutation present, which can be useful for genetic counseling and family planning.
It’s important to note that NBIA6 is a rare disorder, and genetic testing for COASY mutations may not be readily available in all healthcare settings. Additionally, a genetic test alone may not be sufficient for a diagnosis, and additional clinical evaluations and tests may be necessary. Therefore, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional or a genetic counselor for more information about the availability and appropriateness of genetic testing for NBIA6.
