ARX Gene Hydranencephaly with Abnormal Genitalia/Lissencephaly X-Linked 2 NGS Genetic DNA Test
Comprehensive Genetic Testing for X-Linked Neurological Disorders
The ARX Gene Hydranencephaly with Abnormal Genitalia/Lissencephaly X-Linked 2 NGS Genetic DNA Test represents a cutting-edge diagnostic approach for identifying rare X-linked neurological conditions. This advanced genetic analysis specifically targets mutations in the ARX (Aristaless-related homeobox) gene, which plays a crucial role in brain development and function. The test provides essential information for families and healthcare providers dealing with complex neurological presentations.
What This Test Measures and Detects
Our comprehensive NGS-based genetic test specifically analyzes the ARX gene for mutations associated with:
- Hydranencephaly – severe brain malformation where cerebral hemispheres are absent
- Lissencephaly X-linked type 2 – smooth brain surface due to abnormal neuronal migration
- Genital abnormalities including cryptorchidism and micropenis
- X-linked intellectual disability syndromes
- Infantile spasms and seizure disorders
- Partington syndrome manifestations
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test
This specialized genetic testing is recommended for individuals presenting with:
- Infants with severe brain malformations detected on prenatal ultrasound or MRI
- Children with developmental delays and intellectual disabilities
- Patients with unexplained seizure disorders or infantile spasms
- Males with genital abnormalities and neurological symptoms
- Family history of X-linked neurological disorders
- Unexplained cases of cerebral palsy-like symptoms
- Individuals with abnormal brain imaging findings
Key Benefits of ARX Gene Testing
- Accurate Diagnosis: Provides definitive genetic confirmation for complex neurological conditions
- Family Planning: Enables informed reproductive decisions for at-risk families
- Personalized Management: Guides appropriate medical interventions and therapies
- Prognostic Information: Helps understand disease progression and expected outcomes
- Genetic Counseling: Supports comprehensive family genetic assessment
- Research Contribution: Advances understanding of rare neurological disorders
Understanding Your Test Results
Our genetic specialists provide comprehensive interpretation of your ARX gene test results:
- Positive Result: Identifies specific ARX gene mutation, confirming diagnosis and enabling targeted management
- Negative Result: Rules out ARX-related disorders, directing further diagnostic evaluation
- Variant of Uncertain Significance: Requires additional family studies and clinical correlation
- Carrier Status: Identifies asymptomatic female carriers for genetic counseling
All results include detailed genetic counseling to ensure complete understanding and appropriate next steps.
