Detail Description

PRNP Gene Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease NGS Genetic DNA Test

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare, degenerative, and fatal brain disorder that affects about one in every one million people worldwide. It is caused by the accumulation of abnormal prion protein in the brain that leads to the death of brain cells. There is no cure for CJD, and the disease progresses rapidly, usually leading to death within a year of onset.

PRNP (prion protein gene) is the gene that encodes the prion protein. Mutations in the PRNP gene are associated with inherited forms of CJD. Genetic testing of the PRNP gene can help identify individuals who are at risk of developing inherited CJD.

NGS Genetic DNA Test

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a technology that allows for the rapid and accurate sequencing of DNA. NGS can be used to sequence the entire PRNP gene and identify any mutations that may be present. NGS is a highly accurate and sensitive method for genetic testing, and it is the gold standard for identifying genetic mutations that may be associated with disease.

Cost of PRNP Gene Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease NGS Genetic DNA Test

The cost of the PRNP Gene Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease NGS Genetic DNA Test at DNA Labs India is INR 20,000.

Symptoms of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease

• Rapidly progressive dementia
• Difficulty walking and speaking
• Muscle stiffness
• Tremors and involuntary movements
• Loss of coordination
• Blurred vision

Diagnosis of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease

Diagnosis of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is typically based on clinical symptoms and confirmed by brain biopsy or autopsy. Genetic testing can help identify individuals who are at risk of developing inherited CJD.
