SLC9A9 Gene Autism Susceptibility Type 16 Genetic Test
Test Details
The SLC9A9 gene is a gene that provides instructions for making a protein called sodium/hydrogen exchanger 9 (NHE9). This protein is involved in the transport of ions across cell membranes, which is important for maintaining the balance of fluids and electrolytes in the body.
Variations in the SLC9A9 gene have been associated with an increased risk of developing autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Specifically, a mutation in the SLC9A9 gene has been identified as a risk factor for ASD type 16.
NGS genetic testing is a type of genetic testing that uses next-generation sequencing technology to analyze multiple genes at once. This type of testing can be used to identify variations in the SLC9A9 gene and other genes associated with ASD.
Individuals who are at risk for ASD or who have a family history of ASD may consider genetic testing to help inform their treatment and management options. It is important to note that genetic testing is not a definitive diagnosis of ASD and should be used in conjunction with other diagnostic tools and assessments.
