Detail Description

Huntington Disease Mutation Detection Test Cost in India

Huntington disease is a genetic disorder that causes the breakdown of nerve cells in the brain. It affects the person's movement, cognition, and behavior. The disease is caused by a mutation in the huntingtin gene. The gene provides the instructions to produce a protein that is essential for the development of the brain. But in people with Huntington disease, the protein produced by the mutated gene is toxic to the brain cells, causing their death. The disease 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 disease.

The symptoms of Huntington disease usually appear in midlife, between the ages of 30 and 50. But they can also occur earlier or later in life. The symptoms include:

  • Involuntary jerking or writhing movements (chorea)
  • Difficulty with coordination and balance
  • Decline in cognitive abilities, including memory, concentration, and judgment
  • Personality changes, including irritability, depression, and social withdrawal
  • Difficulty swallowing and speaking

There is no cure for Huntington disease, but the symptoms can be managed with medication, therapy, and supportive care.

If you suspect that you or a loved one may have Huntington disease, it is important to get tested. The Huntington Disease Mutation Detection Test is a genetic test that can confirm whether a person has the mutated huntingtin gene or not. The test is performed on a blood sample and can provide accurate results.

The cost of the Huntington Disease Mutation Detection Test in India varies depending on the laboratory and location. At DNA Labs India, the test costs INR 8000. The results of the test can provide important information for family planning and can help individuals make informed decisions about their future.

Diagnosis

The diagnosis of Huntington disease is based on the presence of symptoms and the results of the Huntington Disease Mutation Detection Test. A neurologist or genetic counselor can perform the test and interpret the results. The test can also be performed prenatally to determine whether a fetus has inherited the mutated gene from an affected parent.

If you or a loved one is experiencing symptoms of Huntington disease, it is important to seek medical attention and get tested. The sooner the disease is diagnosed, the sooner treatment and supportive care can be provided.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the cost of HUNTINGTON DISEASE MUTATION DETECTION Test?

    Cost of HUNTINGTON DISEASE MUTATION DETECTION Test is 8000 Rs

  • What is Huntington Disease?

    Huntington's disease is a rare, inherited disease that causes the progressive breakdown (degeneration) of nerve cells in the brain. Huntington's disease has a broad impact on a person's functional abilities and usually results in movement, thinking (cognitive) and psychiatric disorders.

  • Symptoms

    Huntington's disease usually causes movement, cognitive and psychiatric disorders with a wide spectrum of signs and symptoms. Which symptoms appear first varies greatly from person to person. Some symptoms appear more dominant or have a greater effect on functional ability, but that can change throughout the course of the disease.  

  • Movement disorders

    The movement disorders associated with Huntington's disease can include both involuntary movement problems and impairments in voluntary movements, such as:

    Involuntary jerking or writhing movements (chorea)

    Muscle problems, such as rigidity or muscle contracture (dystonia)

    Slow or abnormal eye movements 

    Impaired gait, posture and balance

    Difficulty with speech or swallowing

  • When to see a doctor?

    See your doctor if you notice changes in your movements, emotional state or mental ability. The signs and symptoms of Huntington's disease can be caused by a number of different conditions. Therefore, it's important to get a prompt, thorough diagnosis.

  • How is it passed on?

    Huntington's disease is an autosomal dominant disorder. This means a person can have it if they inherit only one copy of the faulty gene, from either their mother or their father.

  • Frequency:

    Huntington disease affects an estimated 3 to 7 per 100,000 people of European ancestry. The disorder appears to be less common in some other populations, including people of Japanese, Chinese, and African descent.

  • What is the cost of Huntington Disease?

    The cost of Huntington Disease is 8000 Rs
