What does this test Spino Cerebral Ataxia (SCA) Panel identify?

  • Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) Panel identifies genetic mutations associated with various subtypes of spinocerebellar ataxia, which are a group of rare inherited neurological disorders characterized by progressive gait and limb ataxia, dysarthria, and oftentimes other neurological symptoms such as tremors, muscle twitching, and cognitive impairment.
  • The panel typically includes testing for mutations in genes such as ATXN1, ATXN2, ATXN3, CACNA1A, ATXN7, ATXN10, TBP, and others, depending on the specific subtype of SCA being investigated.
  • Identifying the genetic mutations causing SCA can help with confirming a clinical diagnosis, providing accurate genetic counseling, and guiding treatment options for affected individuals.

Why is this test Spino Cerebral Ataxia (SCA) Panel taken?

The Spino Cerebral Ataxia (SCA) Panel test is taken to diagnose and evaluate patients who are suspected to have a form of Spinocerebellar Ataxia, a group of inherited genetic disorders that cause degeneration of the cerebellum and other parts of the brain. Symptoms of SCA can include uncoordinated movement, difficulties with speech and swallowing, and problems with balance and coordination.

The SCA Panel test involves analyzing a panel of genes associated with different types of Spinocerebellar Ataxia in order to identify any genetic mutations that may be causing the symptoms. This information can help healthcare providers make an accurate diagnosis and provide appropriate treatment and management strategies for the patient.

Popular FAQs on Test

Spino Cerebral Ataxia (SCA) is a group of hereditary neurological disorders characterized by progressive problems with movement, coordination, and balance.
The SCA Panel test is a genetic test that analyzes specific genes associated with Spino Cerebral Ataxia to help diagnose the condition and determine the specific type of SCA present.
Individuals who have a family history of Spino Cerebral Ataxia or who are experiencing symptoms of the condition should consider getting the SCA Panel test.
The SCA Panel test is typically performed using a blood or saliva sample, which is then analyzed in a laboratory to look for mutations in the specific genes associated with SCA.
The SCA Panel test can help provide a definitive diagnosis of Spino Cerebral Ataxia, guide treatment decisions, and provide information about the risk of passing the condition on to future generations.
