Test Details:
HEXB gene GM2-gangliosidosis type 2 NGS genetic test is a genetic test that examines the HEXB gene for mutations associated with GM2-gangliosidosis type 2. GM2-gangliosidosis type 2 is a rare genetic disorder that affects the central nervous system. It is caused by mutations in the HEXB gene, which provides instructions for producing an enzyme called beta-hexosaminidase B. This enzyme is involved in breaking down a fatty substance called GM2 ganglioside.
The NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic test uses advanced sequencing technology to analyze the HEXB gene for any mutations or changes. By identifying these mutations, the test can confirm a diagnosis of GM2-gangliosidosis type 2 or determine the carrier status of an individual.
This genetic test can be useful for individuals with symptoms suggestive of GM2-gangliosidosis type 2, as well as for family members of affected individuals who may be at risk of carrying the mutation. The test results can help with genetic counseling, family planning, and potentially guide treatment options.
It is important to note that this is a specific genetic test for GM2-gangliosidosis type 2 and focuses on the HEXB gene. There are other types of GM2-gangliosidosis caused by mutations in different genes, and separate genetic tests may be required to diagnose those conditions.
