Test Details:
SCA-8, also known as spinocerebellar ataxia type 8, is a genetic disorder that affects the cerebellum and spinal cord. It is caused by a mutation in the ATXN8OS gene, which leads to the expansion of a repetitive DNA sequence in the ATXN8 gene.
To test for SCA-8, a genetic test is performed to detect the presence of the ATXN8OS and ATXN8 gene mutations. This test involves analyzing a blood or saliva sample to examine the DNA sequence of these genes. The test can identify the specific mutation and determine if an individual carries the mutation associated with SCA-8.
Genetic testing for SCA-8 can be useful for individuals who have symptoms of ataxia, a lack of muscle control and coordination, or a family history of the disorder. It can help confirm a diagnosis and provide information about the inheritance pattern and risk of passing on the mutation to future generations.
It’s important to note that genetic testing for SCA-8 is typically performed by a healthcare professional or a genetic counselor. They can provide guidance and support throughout the testing process, as well as help interpret the results and discuss any implications for the individual and their family.
