Detail Description

KIF2A Gene Neurodevelopmental Malformation and Microcephaly NGS Genetic DNA Test

Neurodevelopmental malformations refer to a group of disorders that affect the development and function of the nervous system. Microcephaly, on the other hand, is a condition where the head circumference is smaller than the average size for age and gender. Both of these conditions can have significant impacts on an individual's cognitive and physical abilities.

The KIF2A gene is one of the genes that have been associated with neurodevelopmental malformations and microcephaly. Mutations in this gene can lead to abnormal brain development and function, which can result in these conditions.

Symptoms

The symptoms of neurodevelopmental malformations and microcephaly can vary depending on the severity of the condition. Some common symptoms include:

• Delayed motor development
• Intellectual disability
• Seizures
• Behavioral problems
• Speech and language delays
• Abnormal muscle tone

Diagnosis

Diagnosing neurodevelopmental malformations and microcephaly involves a thorough physical examination, medical history, and imaging tests such as CT scans or MRIs. Genetic testing can also be used to identify specific gene mutations that may be causing the condition.

NGS Genetic DNA Test

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a powerful technology that can rapidly sequence large amounts of DNA. This technology can be used to identify mutations in the KIF2A gene that may be causing neurodevelopmental malformations and microcephaly. The NGS genetic DNA test is a non-invasive test that requires only a small blood sample.

Cost

The cost of the NGS genetic DNA test for KIF2A gene mutations is INR 20,000.

Conclusion

Neurodevelopmental malformations and microcephaly can have significant impacts on an individual's quality of life. Genetic testing, such as the NGS genetic DNA test, can help identify specific gene mutations that may be causing these conditions. The cost of the test is INR 20,000, making it an affordable option for individuals and families who are seeking answers about their health.
