Test Details
The LGI1 gene is associated with a rare form of epilepsy called familial temporal lobe epilepsy type 1 (FTLE1). This genetic test is used to identify mutations in the LGI1 gene that can cause FTLE1. FTLE1 is an autosomal dominant disorder, meaning that only one copy of the mutated gene is needed for the disorder to occur.
Symptoms of FTLE1 typically begin in adolescence or early adulthood and include seizures that originate in the temporal lobe of the brain. Other symptoms may include memory loss, confusion, and hallucinations.
NGS (next-generation sequencing) technology is used to analyze the LGI1 gene in this genetic test. This technology allows for rapid and accurate sequencing of large amounts of genetic material, making it an effective tool for identifying mutations in the LGI1 gene.
A positive result from this genetic test indicates that the individual has a mutation in the LGI1 gene and is at risk for developing FTLE1. Genetic counseling and regular monitoring may be recommended for individuals with a positive result.
A negative result indicates that no mutations were found in the LGI1 gene, but does not rule out the possibility of other genetic or environmental factors contributing to the development of FTLE1.
