KIF5A Gene SPG10 NGS Genetic DNA Test: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Cost in India

DNA Labs India offers a comprehensive NGS genetic DNA test for the KIF5A gene, which is associated with hereditary spastic paraplegia type 10 (SPG10). This test can help diagnose individuals with SPG10 and provide important information for their healthcare management.

What is SPG10?

Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a group of inherited disorders that affect the nervous system and cause progressive weakness and spasticity (stiffness) in the lower limbs. SPG10 is one subtype of HSP caused by mutations in the KIF5A gene.

SPG10 typically begins in adolescence or early adulthood and progresses slowly over time. Symptoms may include:

• Difficulty walking
• Stiffness and tightness in the legs
• Weakness in the legs
• Numbness or tingling in the feet
• Urinary urgency and incontinence

How is SPG10 Diagnosed?

SPG10 is diagnosed based on a combination of clinical symptoms, family history, and genetic testing. The KIF5A gene test offered by DNA Labs India uses next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology to identify mutations in the gene that may be causing the individual's symptoms.

If a mutation is identified, the individual can be diagnosed with SPG10 and genetic counseling can be provided for family members who may be at risk of inheriting the condition.

Cost of KIF5A Gene SPG10 NGS Genetic DNA Test

The cost of the KIF5A gene SPG10 NGS genetic DNA test at DNA Labs India is INR 20,000. This cost includes the genetic test, interpretation of results, and genetic counseling if necessary.

While this may seem expensive, it is important to remember that genetic testing can provide important information for healthcare management and may prevent unnecessary testing or treatments in the future. In addition, some insurance companies may cover the cost of genetic testing.

Conclusion

The KIF5A gene SPG10 NGS genetic DNA test offered by DNA Labs India can provide important information for individuals with symptoms of SPG10 and their family members. By identifying mutations in the KIF5A gene, individuals can receive an accurate diagnosis and appropriate healthcare management. While the cost of the test may seem high, it is important to consider the potential benefits of genetic testing for healthcare management and prevention of unnecessary testing and treatments.
