SCA-1 SPINOCEREBELLAR ATAXIA ATXN1 GENE MUTATION Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the SCA-1 SPINOCEREBELLAR ATAXIA ATXN1 GENE MUTATION Test to help diagnose individuals with spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 and determine if they carry the mutated gene. This specialized genetic test detects mutations in the ATXN1 gene, which is responsible for the production of an abnormal protein that accumulates in the cells of the cerebellum.

Test Details
The SCA-1 (Spinocerebellar Ataxia) test is a genetic test that detects mutations in the ATXN1 gene. Spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects the coordination and balance of movement. It is caused by a mutation in the ATXN1 gene, which leads to the production of an abnormal protein that accumulates in the cells of the cerebellum.
The SCA-1 test involves analyzing a blood or saliva sample to identify any mutations in the ATXN1 gene. This test can help diagnose individuals with spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 and determine if they carry the mutated gene. Early detection of the ATXN1 gene mutation can aid in providing appropriate medical management and genetic counseling for affected individuals and their families. It can also assist in understanding the inheritance pattern of the disease and predicting the likelihood of passing the mutation to future generations.
It is important to note that the SCA-1 test is a specialized genetic test that should be ordered and interpreted by a qualified healthcare professional, such as a geneticist or a neurologist.
