SCN1A Gene Familial Hemiplegic Migraine Type 3 NGS Genetic DNA Test Cost INR:20000 Symptoms Diagnosis

Introduction

Familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the nervous system and causes severe headaches and temporary paralysis on one side of the body. It is caused by mutations in certain genes, including the SCN1A gene. The SCN1A gene provides instructions for making a protein that helps regulate the flow of sodium ions in and out of cells in the brain. Mutations in this gene disrupt the normal functioning of the protein, leading to abnormal brain activity and the symptoms of FHM.

Symptoms

The symptoms of FHM can vary in severity and frequency, but typically include:

• Severe headache
• Temporary paralysis on one side of the body
• Visual disturbances
• Nausea and vomiting
• Sensitivity to light and sound

Diagnosis

Diagnosis of FHM is typically made based on the patient’s symptoms and family history. Genetic testing can also be used to confirm a diagnosis and identify the specific gene mutation responsible for the disorder. The SCN1A gene is one of several genes that can be tested for FHM.

NGS Genetic DNA Test

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a powerful genetic testing technology that can rapidly and accurately sequence large amounts of DNA. NGS can be used to identify mutations in the SCN1A gene and other genes associated with FHM. The cost of NGS genetic DNA testing for FHM is typically around INR 20000.

Conclusion

Familial hemiplegic migraine is a rare genetic disorder that can cause severe headaches and temporary paralysis on one side of the body. It is caused by mutations in certain genes, including the SCN1A gene. Genetic testing, including NGS, can be used to confirm a diagnosis of FHM and identify the specific gene mutation responsible for the disorder. The cost of NGS genetic DNA testing for FHM is typically around INR 20000. If you or a loved one is experiencing symptoms of FHM, talk to your doctor about genetic testing and other treatment options.
