Test Details
The TWNK gene spinocerebellar ataxia, infantile-onset NGS genetic test is a genetic test that analyzes the TWNK gene for mutations associated with infantile-onset spinocerebellar ataxia. Spinocerebellar ataxia is a group of genetic disorders characterized by progressive degeneration of the cerebellum, leading to problems with movement, balance, and coordination.
The TWNK gene provides instructions for producing a protein called Twinkle. This protein is involved in the maintenance and replication of mitochondrial DNA, which is essential for normal mitochondrial function. Mutations in the TWNK gene can disrupt the production or function of the Twinkle protein, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and the development of spinocerebellar ataxia.
The NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic test involves analyzing the DNA sequence of the TWNK gene to identify any mutations or variations that may be present. This test can help diagnose infantile-onset spinocerebellar ataxia and provide valuable information for genetic counseling and management of the condition.
It is important to note that this test specifically focuses on the TWNK gene and is designed for individuals suspected of having infantile-onset spinocerebellar ataxia. Other genetic tests may be required to investigate different types of spinocerebellar ataxia or other related conditions. A healthcare professional or genetic counselor can provide more information and guidance regarding genetic testing options.
