What does this test Neurodegeneration With Brain Iron Accumulation Gene Panel identify?

Neurodegeneration With Brain Iron Accumulation Gene Panel

The Neurodegeneration With Brain Iron Accumulation Gene Panel is a genetic test that identifies mutations in specific genes associated with neurodegenerative disorders characterized by abnormal accumulation of iron in the brain. These disorders include:

  • Pantothenate Kinase-Associated Neurodegeneration (PKAN): caused by mutations in the PANK2 gene
  • Neuroferritinopathy: caused by mutations in the FTL gene
  • Aceruloplasminemia: caused by mutations in the CP gene
  • Woodhouse-Sakati Syndrome: caused by mutations in the DCAF17 gene

Identifying mutations in these genes can help healthcare providers diagnose and manage these neurodegenerative disorders, providing valuable information for personalized treatment and genetic counseling.

Why is this test Neurodegeneration With Brain Iron Accumulation Gene Panel taken?

  • Neurodegeneration With Brain Iron Accumulation Gene Panel Test
  • Reasons for taking the test:
    • To diagnose Neurodegeneration with Brain Iron Accumulation (NBIA), a group of rare genetic disorders characterized by abnormal iron accumulation in the brain.
    • To identify specific genetic mutations associated with NBIA, which can help in determining the appropriate treatment and management strategies.
    • To assess the risk of passing on the genetic mutation to offspring, especially in families with a history of NBIA.
    • To confirm a suspected diagnosis of NBIA based on clinical symptoms and imaging studies.
    • To provide genetic counseling and guidance for affected individuals and their families.
