SLC25A19 Gene Microcephaly, Amish type: Symptoms, Diagnosis and NGS Genetic DNA Test Cost

Microcephaly is a rare neurological condition in which a baby's head is significantly smaller than expected. It can be caused by a variety of genetic and environmental factors, including mutations in the SLC25A19 gene.

SLC25A19 gene mutations are a known cause of microcephaly in the Amish population. If you or a loved one is showing symptoms of microcephaly, it may be worth considering an NGS genetic DNA test to determine if an SLC25A19 gene mutation is the cause.

What are the symptoms of SLC25A19 Gene Microcephaly, Amish type?

The symptoms of SLC25A19 gene microcephaly can vary widely from person to person. In general, individuals with this condition have a smaller than average head size and may experience developmental delays, intellectual disability, seizures, and vision and hearing problems.

Other symptoms may include abnormal muscle tone and difficulty with movement and coordination.

How is SLC25A19 Gene Microcephaly, Amish type diagnosed?

If you or a loved one is showing symptoms of microcephaly, your healthcare provider may order genetic testing to determine the underlying cause. This may involve a physical exam, blood tests, and imaging tests such as an MRI or CT scan.

An NGS genetic DNA test can be used to specifically look for mutations in the SLC25A19 gene.

What is the cost of an NGS genetic DNA test for SLC25A19 Gene Microcephaly, Amish type?

The cost of an NGS genetic DNA test for SLC25A19 Gene Microcephaly, Amish type varies depending on the provider. At DNA Labs India, the cost of this test is INR 20,000.
