Pre Test Information
Before undergoing the GFAP Gene Alexander Disease NGS Genetic DNA Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a genetic counseling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with GFAP Gene Alexander Disease.
Test Details
GFAP (Glial fibrillary acidic protein) gene mutations are associated with Alexander disease, a rare genetic disorder that affects the nervous system. This disease is caused by a mutation in the GFAP gene, which encodes a protein that is important in maintaining the structure and function of astrocytes, a type of glial cell in the brain.
NGS (Next-generation sequencing) genetic testing is used to identify mutations in the GFAP gene. This advanced sequencing technology analyzes the DNA sequence of the GFAP gene to detect any abnormalities or mutations. Genetic testing for Alexander disease can aid in early diagnosis, treatment, and management of the condition.
Furthermore, this test can help identify carriers of the gene mutation and provide genetic counseling for families at risk of passing on the condition to their children.
