ACO2 Gene Cerebellar-Retinal Degeneration Infantile NGS Genetic DNA Test

Comprehensive Genetic Testing for Rare Neurodegenerative Disorders

The ACO2 Gene Cerebellar-Retinal Degeneration Infantile NGS Genetic DNA Test represents a breakthrough in diagnostic precision for rare genetic conditions affecting infants and young children. This sophisticated genetic analysis utilizes next-generation sequencing technology to identify mutations in the ACO2 gene, which plays a critical role in mitochondrial function and energy production within neural tissues.

What This Advanced Genetic Test Detects

Our comprehensive NGS-based test specifically targets the ACO2 gene, which encodes the mitochondrial aconitase 2 enzyme. This enzyme is essential for the citric acid cycle and energy metabolism in cells. When mutations occur in this gene, they disrupt normal mitochondrial function, leading to progressive degeneration of the cerebellum and retina.

• Detection of pathogenic variants in the ACO2 gene
• Identification of inherited or de novo mutations
• Analysis of mitochondrial dysfunction-related genetic markers
• Assessment of genetic risk factors for neurodegenerative progression

Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?

This specialized genetic test is recommended for infants and children presenting with specific neurological and visual symptoms that may indicate ACO2-related disorders.

Key Symptoms and Clinical Indications

• Progressive vision loss or retinal degeneration in infancy
• Cerebellar ataxia and coordination difficulties
• Developmental delays in motor skills and milestones
• Nystagmus (involuntary eye movements)
• Family history of similar neurological conditions
• Unexplained neurodegenerative symptoms in early childhood
• Abnormal eye examinations suggesting retinal pathology

Significant Benefits of Early Genetic Testing

Early detection through genetic testing provides numerous advantages for affected children and their families.

Diagnostic and Management Benefits

• Accurate Diagnosis: Provides definitive genetic confirmation of ACO2-related disorders
• Early Intervention: Enables timely implementation of supportive therapies
• Family Planning: Offers crucial information for genetic counseling and reproductive decisions
• Prognostic Information: Helps predict disease progression and potential complications
• Targeted Care: Guides development of personalized treatment strategies
• Research Contribution: Contributes to medical understanding of rare genetic conditions

Understanding Your Test Results

Our comprehensive genetic analysis provides clear, actionable results that your healthcare provider can interpret within the context of your child’s clinical presentation.

Result Interpretation Guidelines

• Positive Result: Indicates the presence of pathogenic ACO2 gene mutations confirming the diagnosis
• Negative Result: Suggests that ACO2 mutations are not the cause of symptoms, requiring further investigation
• Variant of Uncertain Significance: Identifies genetic changes whose clinical significance requires additional research
• Carrier Status: Determines if parents carry ACO2 gene mutations with implications for future pregnancies
