CASK Gene FG Syndrome Type 4 NGS Genetic DNA Test
Comprehensive Genetic Testing for Neurological Disorders
The CASK Gene FG Syndrome Type 4 NGS Genetic DNA Test represents a breakthrough in neurological genetic diagnostics, offering precise detection of mutations associated with FG syndrome type 4. This rare genetic condition affects neurological development and function, making accurate diagnosis crucial for appropriate medical management and family planning.
What Does This Test Measure?
This advanced genetic test specifically targets the CASK (Calcium/calmodulin-dependent serine protein kinase) gene, which plays a critical role in brain development and function. Using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, the test identifies:
- Point mutations in the CASK gene
- Small insertions and deletions
- Copy number variations
- Pathogenic variants associated with FG syndrome type 4
Who Should Consider This Test?
Clinical Indications and Symptoms
This test is recommended for individuals presenting with symptoms suggestive of FG syndrome type 4, including:
- Developmental delays and intellectual disability
- Seizures or epilepsy
- Microcephaly (small head size)
- Distinctive facial features
- Feeding difficulties in infancy
- Motor coordination problems
- Speech and language delays
- Autism spectrum features
Benefits of CASK Gene Testing
Undergoing this comprehensive genetic analysis provides numerous advantages:
- Accurate Diagnosis: Confirms or rules out FG syndrome type 4 with high precision
- Personalized Treatment: Enables targeted therapeutic approaches based on genetic findings
- Family Planning: Provides crucial information for genetic counseling and reproductive decisions
- Prognostic Insights: Helps predict disease progression and potential complications
- Early Intervention: Facilitates timely implementation of supportive therapies
Understanding Your Test Results
Your genetic test results will be carefully interpreted by our expert geneticists and neurologists:
- Positive Result: Indicates the presence of a pathogenic CASK gene mutation associated with FG syndrome type 4
- Negative Result: Suggests no detectable mutation in the CASK gene, though other genetic causes may need consideration
- Variant of Uncertain Significance: Identifies genetic changes whose clinical significance requires further investigation
All results include comprehensive genetic counseling to help you understand the implications and next steps.
