SCA2 test in Ratlam
x
Sterling Accuris offers a SCA2 Test in Ratlam to detect the CAG repeats in the Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) gene to diagnose the cause for loss of body movements (ataxia).
Overview of the SCA2 Test
SCA2 results in a loss of control of full bodily movements. SCA2 is one of a set of inherited neurological conditions and is caused by a mutation in the ATXN2 (ataxin2) gene. Ataxin 2 protein has roles in various cellular processes like protein, production processing, and transport. In SCA2, specific nerves that carry signals to and fro from the brain have defects, which lead to degeneration of the cerebellum (helps in coordination and movement). In the SCA2 test, the CAG repeat within the ATXN2 gene is studied. CAG is a trinucleotide sequence made up of nucleotide cytosine, adenine, and guanine. CAG repeats within the ATXN2 gene are the cause of gene mutation and disturbed function.
The SCA2 test can provide important clues about mutations in the ATXN2 gene and abnormal CAG repeats, which is helpful for clinicians in planning treatment. Book a SCA2 test in Ratlam with Sterling Accuris for accurate and timely reports..
Why and When is a SCA2 Test done?
