What does this test Spinal Cerebral Ataxia (SCA) Type- 2 identify?

Spinal Cerebral Ataxia (SCA) Type-2 Test

The Spinal Cerebral Ataxia (SCA) Type-2 test is used to identify a specific genetic mutation that causes SCA Type-2. This mutation affects the CACNA1A gene, which is responsible for coding a protein that plays a role in the functioning of the nervous system. SCA Type-2 is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects coordination, balance, and speech.

Individuals who have a family history of SCA Type-2 or who are experiencing symptoms such as difficulty walking, slurred speech, and tremors may undergo this test to confirm a diagnosis. The test involves analyzing a blood sample to detect the presence of the CACNA1A gene mutation.

Why is this test Spinal Cerebral Ataxia (SCA) Type- 2 taken?

  • Reason for Test: Spinal Cerebral Ataxia (SCA) Type-2 is a genetic disorder that affects coordination, balance, and speech. This test is taken to diagnose SCA Type-2 and determine the severity of the condition.
  • Diagnostic Criteria: The test typically involves a physical examination, family history assessment, genetic testing, and neurological evaluation to confirm the presence of SCA Type-2.
  • Symptoms: Individuals with SCA Type-2 may experience clumsiness, unsteady gait, slurred speech, tremors, and difficulty with fine motor skills. Testing helps to identify these symptoms and provide appropriate treatment options.
  • Genetic Counseling: Once diagnosed with SCA Type-2, individuals may benefit from genetic counseling to understand the inheritance pattern of the disorder and make informed decisions about family planning.
