Test Details
The DNAJC5 gene is associated with a condition called ceroid lipofuscinosis neuronal type 4 (CLN4), also known as Kufs disease. CLN4 is a rare neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the accumulation of lipopigments in the cells of the brain and other tissues. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic test that can analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the case of CLN4, NGS testing can be used to identify any mutations or changes in the DNAJC5 gene that may be causing the disease. By analyzing the DNA sequence of the DNAJC5 gene, NGS testing can help diagnose CLN4 and determine if an individual has inherited the condition. This information can be useful for genetic counseling, family planning, and potentially for the development of targeted therapies in the future. It’s important to note that genetic testing for CLN4 is typically only performed in individuals who show symptoms of the disease or have a family history of CLN4. The test is usually ordered by a healthcare provider or genetic counselor.
