Detail Description

Leigh Syndrome & Mitochondrial Encephalopathy Gene Panel Cost INR:36000 Symptoms Diagnosis

Leigh Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that affects the central nervous system. It is caused by mutations in mitochondrial DNA or nuclear DNA. Mitochondrial Encephalopathy is another genetic disorder that affects the brain and nervous system due to mitochondrial dysfunction. Both these disorders can cause severe neurological symptoms and can be fatal.

Symptoms

The symptoms of Leigh Syndrome and Mitochondrial Encephalopathy can vary from person to person and can appear at any age. Some of the common symptoms include:

• Developmental delay
• Muscle weakness
• Difficulty swallowing
• Seizures
• Loss of motor control
• Respiratory problems
• Visual and hearing impairments
• Stroke-like episodes

Diagnosis

Diagnosing Leigh Syndrome and Mitochondrial Encephalopathy can be challenging, as the symptoms can overlap with other neurological disorders. A thorough medical history and physical examination can help identify the symptoms. Genetic testing is the most reliable way to diagnose these disorders. DNA Labs India offers a Leigh Syndrome & Mitochondrial Encephalopathy Gene Panel test that can detect mutations in mitochondrial DNA or nuclear DNA.
