Pre Test Information
Prior to undergoing the PDE8B Gene Striatal Degeneration Genetic Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a genetic counseling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by PDE8B Gene Striatal Degeneration.
Test Details
The PDE8B gene is responsible for coding the protein phosphodiesterase 8B, which plays a crucial role in regulating cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signaling. This signaling pathway is involved in various cellular processes, including neuronal function.
Striatal degeneration refers to the degeneration or loss of neurons in the striatum, a region of the brain responsible for motor control and reward processing. This degeneration can lead to movement disorders like Parkinson’s disease or psychiatric conditions such as Huntington’s disease.
NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a technique used to analyze multiple genes simultaneously and identify genetic variations or mutations associated with specific conditions or diseases. In the context of striatal degeneration, NGS genetic testing helps identify variations or mutations in the PDE8B gene that may be linked to its development.
By identifying these genetic variations, healthcare professionals can gain a better understanding of the underlying genetic causes of striatal degeneration and potentially develop targeted treatments or interventions. NGS genetic testing also aids in genetic counseling and family planning by identifying individuals at an increased risk of developing striatal degeneration due to PDE8B gene mutations.
