HTRA2 Gene PARK13 Parkinson NGS Genetic DNA Test
Comprehensive Genetic Assessment for Parkinson’s Disease Risk
The HTRA2 Gene PARK13 Parkinson NGS Genetic DNA Test represents a breakthrough in neurological genetic testing, offering individuals and families crucial insights into Parkinson’s disease susceptibility. This advanced diagnostic tool examines specific genetic markers within the HTRA2 gene, which has been scientifically linked to PARK13-type Parkinson’s disease through extensive clinical research.
What Does This Test Measure?
This sophisticated genetic analysis utilizes Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to comprehensively examine the HTRA2 gene for mutations and variations associated with Parkinson’s disease development. The test specifically targets:
- Point mutations within the HTRA2 gene coding regions
- Insertion and deletion variants affecting protein function
- Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) linked to PARK13
- Regulatory region variations influencing gene expression
- Copy number variations affecting gene dosage
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This comprehensive genetic assessment is particularly valuable for individuals experiencing:
- Family history of Parkinson’s disease across multiple generations
- Early-onset movement disorders before age 50
- Unexplained tremors, rigidity, or bradykinesia
- Progressive neurological symptoms without clear diagnosis
- Planning for family and concerned about hereditary risks
- Current Parkinson’s diagnosis seeking genetic confirmation
Key Benefits of HTRA2 Genetic Testing
- Early Risk Identification: Detect genetic predispositions before symptom onset
- Personalized Treatment Planning: Guide medication choices and therapeutic approaches
- Family Planning Insights: Understand hereditary risks for future generations
- Comprehensive Genetic Counseling: Professional interpretation of complex results
- Advanced Technology: NGS provides unparalleled accuracy and coverage
- Clinical Decision Support: Inform neurologists about specific genetic factors
Understanding Your Test Results
Your genetic test results will be thoroughly explained during your genetic counseling session. Possible outcomes include:
- Positive Result: Indicates presence of HTRA2 mutations associated with increased Parkinson’s risk
- Negative Result: No detected mutations in the analyzed HTRA2 regions
- Variant of Uncertain Significance: Genetic changes with unclear clinical implications requiring further research
- Carrier Status: Information about recessive inheritance patterns
All results include detailed interpretation by certified genetic counselors who help you understand implications for your health and family.
