MRE11 Gene Microcephaly MRE11A Related NGS Genetic DNA Test
Comprehensive Genetic Testing for Microcephaly Disorders
The MRE11 Gene Microcephaly MRE11A Related NGS Genetic DNA Test represents a cutting-edge diagnostic tool in pediatric genetics, specifically designed to identify mutations in the MRE11A gene that cause severe microcephaly and associated developmental disorders. This advanced genetic analysis utilizes next-generation sequencing technology to provide comprehensive insights into one of the most challenging pediatric neurological conditions.
What Does This Test Measure and Detect?
This specialized genetic test focuses on detecting mutations and variations in the MRE11A gene, which plays a critical role in DNA repair mechanisms and cellular development. The test specifically identifies:
- Pathogenic variants in the MRE11A gene associated with microcephaly
- Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) affecting gene function
- Copy number variations that may impact neurological development
- Inherited or de novo mutations causing Ataxia-Telangiectasia-like disorder
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is recommended for individuals presenting with the following symptoms and clinical indications:
- Infants and children with significantly small head circumference (microcephaly)
- Patients exhibiting developmental delays and intellectual disability
- Individuals with progressive neurological deterioration
- Children showing dysmorphic facial features and growth retardation
- Patients with family history of microcephaly or genetic disorders
- Individuals with suspected DNA repair deficiency disorders
Key Benefits of MRE11A Genetic Testing
Undergoing this comprehensive genetic analysis provides numerous clinical advantages:
- Accurate Diagnosis: Confirms or rules out MRE11A-related microcephaly with high precision
- Treatment Guidance: Helps healthcare providers develop targeted management strategies
- Genetic Counseling: Enables informed family planning decisions
- Early Intervention: Facilitates timely therapeutic interventions for better outcomes
- Prognostic Information: Provides insights into disease progression and potential complications
Understanding Your Test Results
Your genetic test results will be carefully interpreted by our team of certified genetic counselors and medical geneticists. Results typically fall into three categories:
- Positive Result: Indicates the presence of pathogenic MRE11A mutations, confirming the diagnosis of MRE11A-related microcephaly
- Negative Result: Suggests no disease-causing mutations were detected in the MRE11A gene
- Variant of Uncertain Significance: Identifies genetic changes whose clinical significance requires further investigation
All results include comprehensive explanations and recommendations for next steps in clinical management.
