Test Details
The PRNP gene is associated with a number of neurological disorders, including Gerstmann-Straussler disease (GSD). GSD is a rare, inherited disorder that affects the brain and nervous system. It is caused by mutations in the PRNP gene, which codes for the prion protein. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic testing that uses advanced technology to analyze multiple genes at once. This type of testing is particularly useful for identifying mutations in genes like PRNP that are associated with complex diseases. NGS genetic testing for the PRNP gene can help diagnose GSD and other prion diseases. It can also be used for carrier testing, which can help identify individuals who are at risk of passing on a mutated PRNP gene to their children. However, it is important to note that genetic testing is not always necessary or appropriate for everyone. Genetic testing should be done in consultation with a healthcare provider or genetic counselor who can help determine if testing is appropriate and provide guidance on the implications of the results.
