About Moyamoya Disease Type 2

Moyamoya disease is a rare blood vessel disorder that affects the brain. In Moyamoya disease, certain blood vessels in the brain become blocked or narrowed, which can lead to decreased blood flow to the brain. This can cause a range of symptoms, including headaches, seizures, and even strokes.

There are two types of Moyamoya disease - Type 1 and Type 2. Type 2 Moyamoya disease is caused by mutations in the RNF213 gene, which is involved in the development and maintenance of blood vessels. Type 2 is less common than Type 1 and tends to occur in specific populations, such as those of Asian descent.

NGS Genetic DNA Test

DNA Labs India offers a Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) genetic DNA test that can detect mutations in the RNF213 gene associated with Type 2 Moyamoya disease. This test is non-invasive and requires only a small blood sample.

NGS testing is a powerful tool for genetic testing, as it allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes. This means that the test can also detect mutations in other genes associated with Moyamoya disease, as well as other conditions that may be relevant to the individual being tested.

Cost of Test

The cost of the NGS genetic DNA test for RNF213 gene Moyamoya disease Type 2 at DNA Labs India is INR 20,000. This cost includes the cost of the test itself, as well as any necessary genetic counseling.

While this may seem like a significant expense, it is important to remember that genetic testing can provide valuable information that can help individuals and their families make informed decisions about their health.

Symptoms & Diagnosis

The symptoms of Moyamoya disease can vary depending on the severity of the condition and the age at which it develops. Common symptoms include:

• Headaches
• Seizures
• Weakness or numbness on one side of the body
• Difficulty speaking or understanding speech
• Vision problems

If Moyamoya disease is suspected, a diagnosis can be made through imaging tests such as an angiogram or MRI. Genetic testing can also be used to confirm a diagnosis and identify the specific type of Moyamoya disease present.
