ADGRV1 Gene Febrile Seizures Familial Type 4 NGS Genetic DNA Test
Comprehensive Genetic Testing for Familial Febrile Seizures
The ADGRV1 Gene Febrile Seizures Familial Type 4 NGS Genetic DNA Test represents a significant advancement in neurological genetic diagnostics. This specialized test focuses on identifying mutations in the ADGRV1 (Adhesion G Protein-Coupled Receptor V1) gene, which plays a crucial role in brain development and neuronal function. Familial febrile seizures type 4 is an inherited neurological condition characterized by recurrent seizures triggered by fever, typically occurring in early childhood.
What This Test Measures and Detects
This comprehensive genetic analysis utilizes Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to examine the entire ADGRV1 gene for pathogenic variants. The test specifically identifies:
- Point mutations and single nucleotide variants in the ADGRV1 gene
- Small insertions and deletions affecting gene function
- Copy number variations that may impact gene expression
- Specific genetic markers associated with familial febrile seizure susceptibility
- Inheritance patterns that help determine familial risk
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test
This test is particularly recommended for individuals experiencing:
- Recurrent febrile seizures during childhood
- Family history of febrile seizures or epilepsy
- Unexplained neurological symptoms with fever
- Developmental delays associated with seizure activity
- Multiple family members affected by seizure disorders
- Children with complex febrile seizure presentations
- Individuals planning pregnancy with family history of neurological conditions
Clinical Benefits of ADGRV1 Genetic Testing
Undergoing this genetic analysis provides numerous clinical advantages:
- Accurate Diagnosis: Confirms genetic basis for familial febrile seizures
- Personalized Treatment: Guides appropriate anti-seizure medication selection
- Family Planning: Provides crucial information for genetic counseling
- Risk Assessment: Helps determine recurrence risks for family members
- Early Intervention: Enables proactive management strategies
- Peace of Mind: Reduces diagnostic uncertainty for families
Understanding Your Test Results
Your genetic test results will be carefully interpreted by our team of certified genetic counselors and neurologists:
- Positive Result: Indicates the presence of a pathogenic ADGRV1 mutation associated with familial febrile seizures
- Negative Result: Suggests no detectable mutation in the ADGRV1 gene, though other genetic factors may be involved
- Variant of Uncertain Significance: Identifies genetic changes whose clinical significance requires further investigation
- Carrier Status: Determines if individuals carry mutations that could be passed to offspring
All results include comprehensive genetic counseling to ensure proper understanding and clinical application.
