Test Details:
GLDC gene glycine encephalopathy NGS genetic test is a type of genetic test that analyzes the GLDC gene for mutations associated with glycine encephalopathy. Glycine encephalopathy is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the accumulation of glycine, an amino acid, in the brain and other organs.
The GLDC gene provides instructions for making an enzyme called glycine decarboxylase, which is responsible for breaking down glycine. Mutations in the GLDC gene can lead to a decrease or complete loss of enzyme activity, resulting in the accumulation of glycine in the body.
The NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technique used in this genetic test allows for the analysis of multiple genes simultaneously, providing a comprehensive assessment of genetic variations. By identifying mutations in the GLDC gene, this test can confirm a diagnosis of glycine encephalopathy and help guide treatment and management options.
It is important to note that this genetic test should be interpreted by a healthcare professional or genetic counselor who specializes in genetics, as the results may have implications for the individual and their family members.
