Early Infantile Epileptic Encephalopathy (EIEE) Type 15 is a rare genetic disorder that affects the brain and causes seizures. It is caused by mutations in the ST3GAL3 gene, which provides instructions for making an enzyme that helps modify proteins and lipids in the brain. This modification is important for the normal function of brain cells.

The symptoms of EIEE Type 15 usually appear in the first few months of life, with seizures being the most common symptom. Other symptoms may include developmental delay, intellectual disability, hypotonia (poor muscle tone), and vision problems. The severity of symptoms can vary widely among affected individuals.

If your child has been diagnosed with EIEE Type 15, genetic testing may be recommended to confirm the diagnosis and determine the specific mutation in the ST3GAL3 gene. This can be done using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, which can analyze multiple genes simultaneously and detect small genetic changes that may be missed by other methods.

At DNA Labs India, we offer ST3GAL3 Gene Early Infantile Epileptic Encephalopathy Type 15 NGS Genetic DNA Test at a cost of INR:20000. This test can help identify the specific mutation in the ST3GAL3 gene and provide valuable information for the management of the condition.

If you suspect that your child may have EIEE Type 15, it is important to seek medical advice as soon as possible. Early diagnosis and treatment can help improve outcomes and quality of life.
