Test Details:
Fatal familial insomnia (FFI) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the sleep-wake cycle. It is caused by a mutation in the PRNP gene, which codes for a protein called prion. This mutation leads to the formation of abnormal prion proteins in the brain, which gradually destroy the brain tissue and lead to the symptoms of FFI.
NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) is a genetic test that can detect mutations in the PRNP gene. It is a highly sensitive and accurate method that can identify even small changes in the DNA sequence. NGS can be used to diagnose FFI in individuals who have symptoms of the disease or who have a family history of FFI. NGS can also be used for carrier testing in individuals who have a family history of FFI but do not have symptoms of the disease. Carrier testing can help identify individuals who have a mutation in the PRNP gene and are at risk of passing the mutation on to their children.
Overall, NGS genetic testing for the PRNP gene can help diagnose FFI and identify individuals who are at risk of developing the disease or passing it on to their children. This information can be used for genetic counseling and to help individuals make informed decisions about their health.
