Detail Description

ADNP Gene Mental Retardation - Autosomal Dominant Type 28 NGS Genetic DNA Test Cost INR:20000

ADNP gene mental retardation is a genetic disorder that affects the development and function of the brain. It is caused by mutations in the ADNP gene, which is responsible for producing a protein that helps regulate the activity of other genes in the brain. This disorder is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, which means that a person only needs to inherit one copy of the mutated gene from either parent to develop the disorder.

The symptoms of ADNP gene mental retardation can vary widely from person to person, but often include developmental delay, intellectual disability, and speech and language problems. Other symptoms may include seizures, autism spectrum disorder, and behavioral issues.

Diagnosis of ADNP gene mental retardation is typically made through genetic testing, such as next-generation sequencing (NGS) DNA testing. This type of testing analyzes a person's DNA to look for mutations in the ADNP gene. The cost of this test in India is typically around INR 20,000.

It is important to note that not all cases of ADNP gene mental retardation are caused by mutations in the ADNP gene. Other genetic and environmental factors may also play a role in the development of this disorder. Therefore, a thorough medical evaluation and genetic testing may be necessary to accurately diagnose this condition.
