Sterling Accuris offers a SCA3 Test in Mehsana to measure the CAG repeat within the ATXN3 gene to determine the cause for spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA).
Overview of the SCA3 Test
Another name for SCA3 is Machado-Joseph disease. This form is the most commonly found subtype of the SCA group of inherited diseases. More than the normal number of CAG (three nucleotide cytosine, adenine, and guanine) repeats within the ATXN3 gene is the cause of SCA3. This gene codes for the ataxin protein which plays a variety of roles in the cellular processing of proteins. CAG repeats in the normal unaffected individual range from 12 to 44 while in affected individuals it expands from 60 to 87.
The SCA3 test can provide important clues about the cause of spinocerebellar ataxia, which is helpful for clinicians in planning treatment. Book a SCA3 test near you for accurate and reliable results.
