Introduction

The WWOX gene is associated with Early Infantile Epileptic Encephalopathy Type 28 (EIEE28), a rare genetic disorder that affects the brain and causes seizures. The disorder is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, meaning that both parents must carry a mutation in the WWOX gene for a child to be affected.

NGS Genetic Testing

NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) genetic testing can be used to identify mutations in the WWOX gene. This involves analyzing the DNA sequence of the gene to identify any changes or mutations that may be causing the disorder.

Diagnosis and Genetic Counseling

This test can help confirm a diagnosis of EIEE28 and may also be used to inform genetic counseling and family planning decisions. By understanding the genetic mutations present in the WWOX gene, healthcare professionals can provide accurate information about the likelihood of passing on the disorder to future generations.

It is important to note that this test should be performed under the guidance of a neurologist and the results should be interpreted by a qualified geneticist or genetic counselor.

Conclusion

The WWOX Gene Early Infantile Epileptic Encephalopathy Type 28 Genetic Test offered by DNA Labs UAE is a valuable tool in diagnosing and understanding this rare genetic disorder. By identifying mutations in the WWOX gene, healthcare professionals can provide appropriate treatment and counseling to affected individuals and their families.
