Pre Test Information
Prior to undergoing the SDCCAG8 Gene Senior-Loken Syndrome Type 7 Genetic Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a genetic counseling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by SDCCAG8 Gene Senior-Loken Syndrome Type 7.
Test Details
The SDCCAG8 gene is associated with Senior-Loken Syndrome Type 7, a rare genetic disorder characterized by nephronophthisis (kidney disease) and retinitis pigmentosa (a specific type of retinal degeneration). This disorder is autosomal recessive, meaning both parents must pass on a mutated gene for the individual to develop the condition.
The SDCCAG8 gene is responsible for producing a protein involved in the development and maintenance of cilia, which are hair-like structures found on many cells. Cilia play important roles in cellular processes, including signal transmission. Mutations in the SDCCAG8 gene can disrupt cilia function, leading to the symptoms of Senior-Loken Syndrome Type 7.
The NGS genetic test for SDCCAG8 gene mutations involves sequencing the entire coding region of the gene to identify any genetic variants or mutations. This test helps confirm a diagnosis of Senior-Loken Syndrome Type 7 in individuals with consistent clinical symptoms. It can also provide valuable information for disease progression and family planning decisions.
The SDCCAG8 Gene Senior-Loken Syndrome Type 7 Genetic Test is typically performed by healthcare professionals specializing in genetics or genetic counseling. The results of the test can guide treatment and management strategies for individuals with Senior-Loken Syndrome Type 7.

Test Details |
SDCCAG8 gene Senior-Loken syndrome type 7 NGS genetic test is a diagnostic test that uses next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze the SDCCAG8 gene for mutations associated with Senior-Loken syndrome type 7. Senior-Loken syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by kidney disease (nephronophthisis) and a specific type of retinal degeneration known as retinitis pigmentosa. It is an autosomal recessive disorder, meaning that an individual must inherit two copies of the mutated gene (one from each parent) to develop the condition. The SDCCAG8 gene provides instructions for producing a protein involved in the development and maintenance of cilia, which are tiny, hair-like structures found on the surface of many cells. Cilia play essential roles in various cellular processes, including sensing and transmitting signals. Mutations in the SDCCAG8 gene can disrupt cilia function, leading to the symptoms of Senior-Loken syndrome type 7. The NGS genetic test for SDCCAG8 gene mutations involves sequencing the entire coding region of the gene to identify any genetic variants or mutations. This test can help confirm a diagnosis of Senior-Loken syndrome type 7 in individuals with clinical symptoms consistent with the condition. Genetic testing can be useful for confirming a diagnosis, providing information about disease progression, and helping with family planning decisions. It is typically performed by a healthcare professional specializing in genetics or genetic counseling. The results of the test can guide treatment and management strategies for individuals with Senior-Loken syndrome type 7. |
