Pre Test Information: Clinical History of Patient who is going for MPZ Gene Dejerine-Sottas disease NGS Genetic DNA Test. A Genetic Counselling session to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with MPZ Gene Dejerine-Sottas disease.
Test Details: Dejerine-Sottas disease is a rare genetic disorder that affects the peripheral nerves. It is caused by mutations in the MPZ gene, which provides instructions for making a protein called myelin protein zero. Myelin protein zero is a critical component of myelin, the fatty substance that surrounds and insulates nerve fibers, allowing them to transmit electrical signals quickly and efficiently. NGS (next-generation sequencing) genetic testing can be used to identify mutations in the MPZ gene that cause Dejerine-Sottas disease. This type of testing involves analyzing the DNA sequence of the gene to look for changes or variations that may disrupt the function of the protein it encodes. NGS is a highly sensitive and accurate method of genetic testing that can detect even very rare mutations. Genetic testing for Dejerine-Sottas disease can be useful for individuals who have symptoms of the condition, as well as for family members of affected individuals who may be at risk of inheriting the disease. Early diagnosis can help to guide treatment and management strategies, as well as provide information about the likelihood of passing the condition on to future generations.
