Detail Description

MPZ Gene CMT1B NGS Genetic DNA Test Cost INR:20000 Symptoms Diagnosis

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is a rare hereditary neurological disorder that affects the peripheral nervous system. The disease is caused by mutations in the MPZ gene. CMT1B is a subtype of CMT caused by mutations in the MPZ gene.

NGS Genetic DNA testing is a powerful tool that can help diagnose CMT1B. DNA Labs India offers MPZ Gene CMT1B NGS Genetic DNA testing at a cost of INR 20,000.

Symptoms of CMT1B

CMT1B typically starts in the feet and lower legs and can eventually affect the hands and arms. Symptoms include:

• Weakened muscles in the feet and lower legs
• Tingling or numbness in the feet and lower legs
• Difficulty walking
• Foot drop
• High arches in the feet
• Hammertoes

Diagnosing CMT1B

Diagnosing CMT1B can be difficult, as symptoms can be similar to other neurological disorders. NGS Genetic DNA testing can help confirm a diagnosis of CMT1B. The test looks for mutations in the MPZ gene, which is responsible for producing the myelin protein that surrounds and protects nerves.

NGS Genetic DNA testing is a non-invasive procedure that involves taking a small sample of blood or saliva. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. Results can be available in as little as two weeks.

Cost of MPZ Gene CMT1B NGS Genetic DNA Test

DNA Labs India offers MPZ Gene CMT1B NGS Genetic DNA testing at a cost of INR 20,000. This cost includes the test itself, as well as analysis and interpretation of the results by a team of expert geneticists.

NGS Genetic DNA testing can be covered by some health insurance plans. Patients should check with their insurance provider to see if the test is covered.

Conclusion

CMT1B is a rare hereditary neurological disorder that can be difficult to diagnose. NGS Genetic DNA testing can help confirm a diagnosis of CMT1B by looking for mutations in the MPZ gene. DNA Labs India offers MPZ Gene CMT1B NGS Genetic DNA testing at a cost of INR 20,000. Patients should talk to their doctor about whether NGS Genetic DNA testing is appropriate for them.
