Pre Test Information: Clinical History of Patient who is going for PFKM Gene Glycogen storage disease type 7 NGS Genetic DNA Test. A Genetic Counselling session to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with Glycogen storage disease type 7.
Test Details
The PFKM gene is associated with Glycogen Storage Disease Type 7 (GSD7), also known as Tarui disease. GSD7 is a rare genetic disorder that affects the metabolism of glycogen, a form of stored glucose in the body.
NGS stands for Next-Generation Sequencing, which is a high-throughput DNA sequencing technology used to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the context of genetic testing for GSD7, NGS can be used to identify any mutations or variations in the PFKM gene that may be responsible for the disease.
The NGS genetic test for GSD7 involves collecting a sample of DNA, typically through a blood sample or a buccal swab, and sequencing the PFKM gene using NGS technology. The test aims to identify any genetic mutations or variants that may be present in the PFKM gene and causing GSD7.
By identifying the specific genetic mutations associated with GSD7, NGS genetic testing can help confirm a diagnosis, provide information about the severity of the disease, and inform treatment options and management strategies. It can also be used for carrier testing, prenatal testing, and genetic counseling for individuals and families at risk of GSD7.
