Pre Test Information: Clinical History of Patient who is going for POLG Gene Neuropathy with sensory ataxic, dysarthria, and ophthalmoparesis NGS Genetic DNA Test. A Genetic Counselling session to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with POLG Gene Neuropathy with sensory ataxic, dysarthria, and ophthalmoparesis
Test Details: POLG gene neuropathy refers to a type of neuropathy caused by mutations in the POLG gene. Neuropathy refers to damage or dysfunction of the nerves, leading to symptoms such as sensory ataxia (loss of coordination due to sensory impairment), dysarthria (difficulty speaking), and ophthalmoparesis (weakness or paralysis of the eye muscles). NGS stands for Next-Generation Sequencing, which is a high-throughput DNA sequencing technology used to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the context of POLG gene neuropathy, an NGS genetic test would involve sequencing the POLG gene to identify any mutations or variations that may be causing the neuropathy symptoms. This type of genetic testing can help in diagnosing POLG gene neuropathy and understanding the underlying genetic cause. It can also be useful for genetic counseling and determining the risk of passing on the condition to future generations. Treatment and management of POLG gene neuropathy may involve symptomatic relief, physical therapy, and genetic counseling.
