CLN6 Gene Ceroid Lipofuscinosis Neuronal Type 6 NGS Genetic DNA Test
Comprehensive Genetic Testing for Batten Disease
The CLN6 Gene Ceroid Lipofuscinosis Neuronal Type 6 NGS Genetic DNA Test represents a breakthrough in diagnostic precision for families affected by Batten disease, a rare inherited neurodegenerative disorder. This advanced genetic test utilizes next-generation sequencing technology to identify mutations in the CLN6 gene, which plays a critical role in cellular waste management within neurons. Early and accurate diagnosis is essential for managing this progressive condition that primarily affects children and young adults.
What This Test Measures and Detects
Our CLN6 genetic test specifically targets and analyzes the CLN6 gene located on chromosome 15q21-q23. The test identifies:
- Pathogenic variants and mutations in the CLN6 gene
- Single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 6
- Deletions, insertions, and missense mutations affecting protein function
- Compound heterozygous and homozygous mutations
- Novel variants of uncertain significance with detailed interpretation
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test
This test is recommended for individuals displaying symptoms or with family history suggesting CLN6-related disorders:
- Children experiencing progressive vision loss starting between ages 18 months and 8 years
- Patients with developmental regression and loss of previously acquired skills
- Individuals with seizure disorders that are difficult to control with medication
- Children showing cognitive decline and behavioral changes
- Patients with motor coordination difficulties and speech impairment
- Families with a history of Batten disease or similar neurodegenerative conditions
- Couples planning pregnancy with known family history of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis
Key Benefits of CLN6 Genetic Testing
Choosing our comprehensive CLN6 genetic test provides numerous advantages:
- Early Intervention: Enables timely medical management and symptom control
- Family Planning: Provides crucial information for reproductive decisions
- Accurate Diagnosis: Eliminates diagnostic uncertainty and misdiagnosis
- Treatment Guidance: Helps physicians develop targeted care plans
- Genetic Counseling: Supports families in understanding inheritance patterns
- Research Contribution: Advances scientific understanding of Batten disease
Understanding Your Test Results
Our comprehensive genetic report provides clear interpretation of your CLN6 gene analysis:
- Positive Result: Indicates presence of known pathogenic mutations, confirming diagnosis of CLN6-related neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis
- Negative Result: Suggests absence of detectable CLN6 mutations, though other genetic causes should be considered
- Variant of Uncertain Significance: Identifies genetic changes with unknown clinical impact, requiring further evaluation
- Carrier Status: Determines if individuals carry one copy of a mutated gene without showing symptoms
All results include detailed explanations and recommendations for follow-up care with genetic specialists.
