ATXN10 Gene Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 10 Autosomal Dominant NGS Genetic DNA Test
Understanding Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 10
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 10 (SCA10) represents a significant neurological disorder characterized by progressive degeneration of the cerebellum, the brain region responsible for coordinating movement and maintaining balance. This autosomal dominant condition results from specific genetic mutations in the ATXN10 gene, making genetic testing essential for accurate diagnosis and family planning.
What This Test Measures and Detects
Our advanced NGS Genetic DNA Test specifically targets the ATXN10 gene to identify expanded ATTCT pentanucleotide repeats, the hallmark genetic abnormality in SCA10. The test provides comprehensive analysis of:
- ATTCT repeat expansion size and configuration
- Genetic mutation patterns associated with SCA10
- Inheritance risk assessment for family members
- Disease progression prediction markers
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test
Symptoms and Clinical Indications
This test is recommended for individuals experiencing:
- Progressive coordination difficulties and balance problems
- Unsteady gait and frequent stumbling
- Slurred speech and dysarthria
- Involuntary eye movements (nystagmus)
- Family history of ataxia or neurological disorders
- Unexplained tremors or motor control issues
Benefits of ATXN10 Genetic Testing
Undergoing this comprehensive genetic analysis provides numerous advantages:
- Accurate Diagnosis: Confirms or rules out SCA10 with high precision
- Early Intervention: Enables timely treatment and management strategies
- Family Planning: Provides crucial information for reproductive decisions
- Prognostic Insights: Helps predict disease progression and severity
- Personalized Care: Guides development of targeted treatment plans
Understanding Your Test Results
Our genetic counselors provide comprehensive interpretation of your results:
- Normal Results: No expanded ATTCT repeats detected, indicating low SCA10 risk
- Intermediate Alleles: Slightly expanded repeats requiring monitoring
- Pathogenic Expansion: Confirmed SCA10 diagnosis with specific repeat size
- Genetic Counseling: Detailed explanation of inheritance patterns and family implications
