What is the maximum days the report can be obtained for the test

The maximum days for obtaining a report for the test Spinal Cerebral Ataxia (SCA) Type-3 is typically 10-14 business days. However, the exact timeframe may vary depending on the specific laboratory or healthcare facility where the test is being conducted.

What are the prerequisites for the test Spinal Cerebral Ataxia (SCA) Type- 3

  • Genetic counseling
  • Family history of SCA Type-3
  • Presence of symptoms such as unsteady gait, balance issues, and slurred speech
  • Physical examination to assess coordination and muscle tone
  • Neurological examination to evaluate reflexes and coordination
  • Genetic testing to confirm the presence of the mutated gene responsible for SCA Type-3

What are the measure values for the test Spinal Cerebral Ataxia (SCA) Type- 3

  • Trinucleotide Repeat Expansion Testing: Normal range is less than 44 repeats.
  • Genetic Testing: Variants in the ATXN3 gene associated with SCA Type-3.
  • Brain Imaging (MRI or CT scan): May show cerebellar atrophy and white matter changes.
  • Electromyography (EMG) and Nerve Conduction Studies: May show abnormalities in muscle activity and nerve function.
  • Physical Examination: May show symptoms such as gait abnormalities, tremors, and muscle weakness.
  • Neurological Assessment: May include tests of coordination, balance, and reflexes.

What does this test Spinal Cerebral Ataxia (SCA) Type- 3 identify?

Spinal Cerebral Ataxia (SCA) Type-3 Test

This test is used to identify individuals who may have Spinal Cerebral Ataxia (SCA) Type-3. SCA Type-3 is a genetic disorder that affects the central nervous system, leading to coordination and balance problems, as well as other symptoms such as muscle stiffness and speech difficulties.

The test typically involves genetic testing to look for mutations in the gene responsible for SCA Type-3, known as the ATXN3 gene. By identifying these mutations, healthcare providers can diagnose SCA Type-3 and provide appropriate treatment and management options for affected individuals.

Why is this test Spinal Cerebral Ataxia (SCA) Type- 3 taken?

Spinal Cerebral Ataxia (SCA) Type-3 Test

Spinal Cerebral Ataxia (SCA) Type-3 test is taken to diagnose a specific type of inherited neurological disorder known as SCA Type-3. This condition is characterized by degeneration of the cerebellum, a part of the brain that controls coordination and movement.

Individuals with SCA Type-3 may experience symptoms such as poor coordination, unsteady gait, difficulty with speech and swallowing, muscle stiffness, and involuntary eye movements. The test for SCA Type-3 involves genetic testing to identify mutations in the gene responsible for the disorder.

Early diagnosis of SCA Type-3 is important for appropriate management of symptoms and to help individuals and their families understand the genetic implications of the condition. Genetic counseling may also be recommended for individuals who test positive for SCA Type-3 to discuss family planning and potential risks to other family members.
