Test Details
HMGCL gene 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase deficiency is a rare genetic disorder that affects the metabolism of ketones and cholesterol in the body. It is caused by mutations in the HMGCL gene, which provides instructions for producing an enzyme called 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase. Deficiency in this enzyme leads to the buildup of harmful substances in the body, such as 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaric acid and 3-methylglutaconic acid. This can result in a range of symptoms, including developmental delay, hypotonia (low muscle tone), seizures, vomiting, and failure to thrive.
NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a method used to identify mutations in the HMGCL gene. It involves sequencing the entire gene or specific regions of interest to detect any changes or abnormalities in the DNA sequence. This test can help confirm a diagnosis of HMGCL deficiency and guide treatment decisions.
Genetic testing for HMGCL deficiency can be beneficial for individuals who exhibit symptoms of the disorder or have a family history of the condition. It can provide a definitive diagnosis, enable genetic counseling, and inform treatment options. Additionally, early detection through genetic testing can lead to better management and improved outcomes for affected individuals.
