What does this test Spinal Cerebral Ataxia (SCA) Type- 7 identify?

Test: Spinal Cerebellar Ataxia (SCA) Type-7

This test is used to identify the presence of Spinal Cerebellar Ataxia (SCA) Type-7. SCA Type-7 is a genetic condition that affects coordination and balance due to damage to the cerebellum. The test involves analyzing the specific gene associated with SCA Type-7 to determine if a person carries the mutation that causes the condition.

Individuals with SCA Type-7 may experience symptoms such as unsteady gait, difficulty with fine motor skills, and slurred speech. Early diagnosis through genetic testing can help in managing symptoms and providing appropriate care and support.
