CIC Gene Intellectual Disability Nonsyndromic CIC Related NGS Genetic DNA Test
Understanding CIC Gene Intellectual Disability Testing
The CIC Gene Intellectual Disability Nonsyndromic CIC Related NGS Genetic DNA Test represents a breakthrough in neurological genetic diagnostics. This advanced test specifically targets mutations in the CIC (capicua transcriptional repressor) gene, which plays a critical role in brain development and cognitive function. When mutations occur in this gene, they can lead to nonsyndromic intellectual disability – a condition characterized by cognitive impairment without additional physical abnormalities or syndromic features.
What Does This Test Measure?
This comprehensive genetic analysis utilizes Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to examine the entire CIC gene for:
- Point mutations and single nucleotide variants
- Small insertions and deletions
- Copy number variations affecting the CIC gene
- Regulatory region abnormalities
- Pathogenic variants associated with intellectual disability
Who Should Consider This Test?
This genetic test is recommended for individuals presenting with:
- Unexplained intellectual disability or developmental delay
- Learning difficulties without physical abnormalities
- Family history of nonsyndromic intellectual disability
- Developmental regression in childhood
- Speech and language delays with normal physical examination
- Cognitive impairment without syndromic features
Clinical Indications and Symptoms
Patients typically exhibit symptoms including:
- Mild to moderate intellectual disability
- Delayed developmental milestones
- Learning difficulties in academic settings
- Challenges with problem-solving and abstract thinking
- Memory and attention concerns
- Normal physical growth and appearance
Benefits of CIC Gene Testing
Undergoing this genetic test provides numerous advantages:
- Accurate Diagnosis: Confirms or rules out CIC-related intellectual disability
- Personalized Treatment Planning: Guides appropriate educational and therapeutic interventions
- Family Planning: Provides crucial information for genetic counseling and reproductive decisions
- Early Intervention: Enables timely support services and educational accommodations
- Peace of Mind: Reduces diagnostic uncertainty and provides clear answers
- Research Contribution: Helps advance understanding of neurological genetic disorders
Understanding Your Test Results
Your genetic test results will fall into one of several categories:
- Positive Result: A pathogenic mutation in the CIC gene is identified, confirming the diagnosis of CIC-related intellectual disability
- Negative Result: No disease-causing mutations are found in the CIC gene, suggesting other genetic or environmental factors
- Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS): A genetic change is detected, but its clinical significance is currently unknown
- Carrier Status: Identifies individuals who carry one copy of a mutated gene but may not show symptoms
All results are accompanied by comprehensive genetic counseling to ensure proper interpretation and next steps.
