PNKD Gene Paroxysmal nonkinesigenic dyskinesia NGS Genetic DNA Test cost INR:20000 symptoms diagnosis

Paroxysmal nonkinesigenic dyskinesia (PNKD) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the nervous system. It is characterized by sudden, involuntary movements that can occur at any time, and are not triggered by movement or stress.

The PNKD gene is responsible for producing a protein that helps regulate muscle movement. When there is a mutation in this gene, the protein is not produced correctly, leading to the symptoms of PNKD.

Symptoms of PNKD

The symptoms of PNKD can vary from person to person, but typically include:

• Sudden, uncontrollable movements of the limbs, torso, or face
• Episodes that can last from seconds to minutes
• No trigger for the episodes
• No loss of consciousness during the episodes
• Normal movement and muscle tone between episodes

PNKD can also be accompanied by other neurological symptoms, such as headaches, dizziness, or seizures.

Diagnosis of PNKD

PNKD is diagnosed through genetic testing. A blood or saliva sample is collected, and the PNKD gene is sequenced to look for any mutations.

It is important to note that not all cases of PNKD are caused by mutations in the PNKD gene. In some cases, there may be mutations in other genes that lead to similar symptoms.

NGS Genetic DNA Test cost INR:20000

The cost of genetic testing for PNKD can vary depending on the type of test and where it is performed. At DNA Labs India, we offer Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) genetic testing for PNKD at a cost of INR 20000.

NGS is a powerful tool that allows us to sequence multiple genes at once, making it more efficient and cost-effective than traditional genetic testing methods.

Conclusion

If you or a loved one are experiencing symptoms of PNKD, it is important to seek medical attention and consider genetic testing. At DNA Labs India, we offer NGS genetic testing for PNKD at an affordable cost. Contact us today to learn more.
