Detail Description

SCN9A Gene Neuropathy: Hereditary Sensory and Autonomic Type 2 NGS Genetic DNA Test Cost INR 20000 | DNA Labs India

SCN9A gene neuropathy is a rare genetic disorder that affects the nervous system. It is also known as hereditary sensory and autonomic type 2 (HSAN2). This disorder is caused by mutations in the SCN9A gene, which provides instructions for making a protein called sodium channel Nav1.7. This protein is involved in the transmission of pain signals from the body to the brain.

HSAN2 is characterized by progressive loss of sensory and autonomic function, which can result in numbness, tingling, and burning pain in the hands and feet. Other symptoms may include dry eyes and mouth, difficulty swallowing, and gastrointestinal problems. The severity of symptoms can vary widely, even among members of the same family.

If you suspect that you or a family member may have HSAN2, it is important to seek a proper diagnosis. DNA Labs India offers an NGS genetic DNA test for SCN9A gene neuropathy at a cost of INR 20000. This test uses next-generation sequencing technology to analyze the DNA sequence of the SCN9A gene and identify any mutations that may be causing the disorder.

The test involves collecting a sample of DNA, typically from a blood or saliva sample. The sample is then sent to the laboratory for analysis. Results are typically available within a few weeks.

Early diagnosis of HSAN2 is important for several reasons. First, it can help individuals and their families better understand the disorder and its potential impact on their lives. Second, it can help healthcare providers develop a personalized treatment plan to manage symptoms and improve quality of life. Finally, genetic testing can help identify other family members who may be at risk of developing the disorder, allowing for early intervention and treatment.

If you suspect that you or a family member may have SCN9A gene neuropathy, contact DNA Labs India today to learn more about our NGS genetic DNA test for HSAN2.
