What is DCTN1 Gene Neuronopathy distal hereditary motor type 7B?

DCTN1 Gene Neuronopathy distal hereditary motor type 7B is a rare genetic disorder that affects the motor neurons in the spinal cord. It is caused by mutations in the DCTN1 gene, which provides instructions for making a protein called dynactin.

What are the symptoms of DCTN1 Gene Neuronopathy distal hereditary motor type 7B?

The symptoms of DCTN1 Gene Neuronopathy distal hereditary motor type 7B include:

• Weakness and wasting of the muscles in the hands and feet
• Difficulty walking
• Difficulty using the hands
• Breathing difficulties in some cases

How is DCTN1 Gene Neuronopathy distal hereditary motor type 7B diagnosed?

DCTN1 Gene Neuronopathy distal hereditary motor type 7B is diagnosed using a combination of clinical examination, genetic testing, and nerve conduction studies.

What is NGS Genetic DNA Test?

NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) Genetic DNA Test is a high-throughput sequencing technology that allows the rapid and accurate analysis of large amounts of DNA. It is used to identify mutations in genes that are associated with genetic disorders.

What is the cost of DCTN1 Gene Neuronopathy distal hereditary motor type 7B NGS Genetic DNA Test at DNA Labs India?

Distal hereditary motor neuropathy type 7B (dHMN7B) is a rare genetic disorder that primarily affects the peripheral nerves responsible for controlling muscle movement. It is characterized by progressive muscle weakness and wasting, particularly in the muscles of the hands and feet. Mutations in the DCTN1 gene have been associated with the development of this condition.
