Detail Description

PSEN2 Gene Alzheimer Disease Type 4 NGS Genetic DNA Test

Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. It is a progressive disease that leads to the deterioration of cognitive function, memory loss, and behavioral changes. The exact cause of Alzheimer's disease is not known, but genetic factors are believed to play a significant role in its development.

The PSEN2 gene is one of the genes that have been linked to Alzheimer's disease. Mutations in this gene can lead to the development of Alzheimer's disease type 4. This type of Alzheimer's disease is a rare form of the disease that usually affects people in their 40s and 50s.

Symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease Type 4

The symptoms of Alzheimer's disease type 4 are similar to those of other types of Alzheimer's disease. They include:

• Memory loss
• Difficulty in performing familiar tasks
• Language problems
• Disorientation
• Mood swings and behavioral changes
• Loss of motivation and initiative

Diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease Type 4

Diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease type 4 is usually done through a combination of medical history, physical examination, and cognitive tests. Genetic testing can also be done to determine if a person has a mutation in the PSEN2 gene.

NGS Genetic DNA Test

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a powerful tool used in genetic testing. It allows for the analysis of multiple genes at once, making it an efficient and cost-effective way to test for genetic mutations.

DNA Labs India offers an NGS genetic DNA test for the PSEN2 gene. The cost of the test is INR 20,000. The test is done using a small blood sample and can be done at any of our DNA testing centers.

Conclusion

Alzheimer's disease type 4 is a rare form of the disease that is linked to mutations in the PSEN2 gene. Genetic testing can be done to determine if a person has a mutation in this gene. DNA Labs India offers an NGS genetic DNA test for the PSEN2 gene at an affordable cost of INR 20,000. Early diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer's disease type 4 can help improve the quality of life of those affected by the disease.
