GABRG2 Gene Dravet Syndrome NGS Genetic DNA Test Cost INR 20000

Dravet syndrome, also known as Severe Myoclonic Epilepsy of Infancy (SMEI), is a rare genetic disorder that usually appears in the first year of life. It is caused by a mutation in the GABRG2 gene, which is responsible for encoding a subunit of a receptor for the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).

GABA is a chemical messenger that helps to regulate the activity of neurons in the brain. In individuals with Dravet syndrome, the GABRG2 mutation leads to an imbalance in the excitatory and inhibitory signals in the brain, which can cause seizures, developmental delays, and other symptoms.

If you suspect that you or your child may have Dravet syndrome, it is important to get a proper diagnosis as soon as possible. This can be done through genetic testing, which can identify the GABRG2 mutation. DNA Labs India provides NGS genetic DNA testing services at an affordable cost of INR 20000.

NGS stands for Next-Generation Sequencing, which is a high-throughput method of DNA sequencing that can analyze large amounts of genetic information in a short amount of time. This technology allows for more comprehensive and accurate testing than traditional methods.

Symptoms of Dravet Syndrome

The symptoms of Dravet syndrome can vary from person to person, but often include:

• Severe seizures, including tonic-clonic, myoclonic, and absence seizures
• Developmental delays, including speech and motor skills
• Behavioral problems, such as hyperactivity and aggression
• Sleep disturbances
• Difficulty with balance and coordination
• Increased risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP)

If you or your child are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional.

Diagnosis of Dravet Syndrome

Diagnosing Dravet syndrome can be challenging, as it is a rare disorder and many of the symptoms are also seen in other conditions. A diagnosis usually involves a combination of genetic testing, clinical evaluation, and medical history.

Genetic testing, such as the NGS genetic DNA test offered by DNA Labs India, can help to confirm a diagnosis by identifying the GABRG2 mutation. Other diagnostic tests may include EEG (electroencephalogram), brain imaging, and blood tests.
