HTT Gene Huntington Disease NGS Genetic DNA Test
Comprehensive Genetic Testing for Huntington’s Disease
The HTT Gene Huntington Disease NGS Genetic DNA Test represents a breakthrough in neurological genetic diagnostics, offering precise detection of the genetic mutations responsible for Huntington’s disease. This progressive neurodegenerative disorder affects movement, cognition, and psychiatric function, making early detection crucial for proactive management and family planning decisions.
What Does This Test Measure?
This advanced genetic test specifically analyzes the HTT (huntingtin) gene for CAG trinucleotide repeat expansions, which are the primary genetic cause of Huntington’s disease. Using Next Generation Sequencing technology, the test provides:
- Accurate measurement of CAG repeat length in the HTT gene
- Detection of expanded repeat sequences beyond normal ranges
- Comprehensive genetic profiling for Huntington’s disease risk assessment
- Detailed analysis of genetic markers associated with disease progression
Who Should Consider This Test?
This genetic screening is particularly recommended for individuals experiencing:
- Family history of Huntington’s disease or unexplained neurological disorders
- Early symptoms including involuntary movements, coordination difficulties, or cognitive changes
- Planning for pregnancy with concerns about genetic inheritance
- Unexplained psychiatric symptoms combined with movement disorders
- Proactive health screening for at-risk individuals over age 18
Key Benefits of Genetic Testing
Undergoing the HTT Gene Huntington Disease NGS Genetic DNA Test provides numerous advantages:
- Early Detection: Identify genetic risk factors before symptom onset
- Family Planning: Make informed decisions about reproduction and genetic counseling
- Proactive Management: Implement lifestyle and medical interventions early
- Peace of Mind: Reduce uncertainty about genetic predisposition
- Comprehensive Analysis: Advanced NGS technology ensures highest accuracy
Understanding Your Test Results
Your genetic test results will provide clear guidance on your Huntington’s disease risk:
- Normal Range: CAG repeats within 26 or fewer indicate low risk
- Intermediate Range: 27-35 repeats may suggest increased monitoring
- Reduced Penetrance: 36-39 repeats indicate potential risk with variable onset
- Full Penetrance: 40 or more repeats confirm Huntington’s disease diagnosis
All results are accompanied by comprehensive genetic counseling to ensure proper understanding and next steps.
