Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's):
What does the Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia Gene Panel include?
This panel analyzes multiple genes associated with hereditary spastic paraplegia using NGS technology at Metropolis Healthcare.
How does Metropolis Healthcare perform this genetic test?
The test uses high-depth NGS sequencing with stringent quality checks to ensure reliable detection of gene mutations.
Who should undergo this test?
Individuals with progressive leg stiffness, gait disturbances, or a family history of HSP may benefit from this test.
Why is genetic testing important for HSP?
It helps confirm the diagnosis, identify the specific subtype, and guide genetic counseling for families.
What sample is required for this panel?
An EDTA blood sample is needed for DNA extraction and sequencing.
How long does Metropolis Healthcare take to provide results?
Turnaround time varies by panel size, but results are typically delivered within a few weeks.
Can this test help with treatment planning?
Yes, identifying the genetic subtype can assist clinicians in tailoring management and rehabilitation strategies.
Is this test useful for family members?
Yes, once a mutation is identified, targeted testing can be offered to relatives for carrier or risk assessment.
