GDAP1 Gene CMT4A NGS Genetic DNA Test Cost INR:20000 Symptoms Diagnosis

DNA Labs India offers the GDAP1 Gene CMT4A NGS Genetic DNA Test at an affordable cost of INR 20,000. This test is designed to diagnose the symptoms of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4A (CMT4A), a rare genetic disorder that affects the nervous system.

Symptoms of CMT4A

CMT4A is a progressive disorder that affects the peripheral nerves, causing muscle weakness and wasting in the hands, feet, and lower legs. The symptoms of CMT4A can vary greatly from person to person, but may include:

• Difficulty walking or running
• Tingling or numbness in the hands and feet
• Weakness in the muscles of the hands, feet, and lower legs
• Difficulty with fine motor skills, such as writing or buttoning clothes
• Foot deformities, such as high arches or hammertoes
• Loss of muscle mass in the hands and feet

Diagnosis of CMT4A

The diagnosis of CMT4A is typically made through a combination of clinical evaluation and genetic testing. A physical exam may reveal muscle weakness and wasting in the hands, feet, and lower legs, as well as foot deformities. Electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies can also be used to evaluate nerve function.

Genetic testing, such as the GDAP1 Gene CMT4A NGS Genetic DNA Test offered by DNA Labs India, can confirm the diagnosis of CMT4A. This test analyzes the GDAP1 gene, which is associated with CMT4A. Mutations in this gene can lead to the development of the disorder.

The Importance of Genetic Testing

Genetic testing is an important tool in the diagnosis and management of genetic disorders like CMT4A. By identifying the specific gene mutations that cause the disorder, doctors can provide more targeted treatment and management strategies. Genetic testing can also help to identify family members who may be at risk for developing the disorder, allowing for earlier diagnosis and intervention.
