New genetic test uncovers underlying neurological disease


Neurological diseases are thought to be passed on from generation to generation. Have you ever heard of a syndrome called latent neuropathy? Let's learn about neurological conditions to study and make a better judgment about the heritability of neurological diseases.

1. Common neurological conditions


1.1 Risk of potential neurological disease There are many studies that have countered the genetic problem of neurological diseases. Some common diseases such as Alzheimer's dementia, epilepsy or Parkinson's disease are thought to pose an exceptional risk. At tests of the genetic code, signs of neurological disorders and other diseases can be found stored in the genetic code.
Based on a history of many years of disease, it is possible to accurately conclude that the cause of the underlying neurological disease is due to genetic factors. Some genetic analysis would provide compelling medical evidence for this claim. However, genetic variation can have a significant influence on the research results. At the same time, genetic testing for an entire family is often complicated, so it is of little concern if the infected person in the family does not have dangerous problems.
It is undeniably positive that neurological tests will determine the risk of neurological disorders fairly accurately. Specifically, in a negative test result still cannot confirm the risk of disease.
1.2 Some neurological diseases are suspected to be inherited. Alzheimer's dementia syndrome Alzheimer's syndrome can cause dementia to lead to memory loss and gradual loss of cognitive ability. Elderly people are often at a higher risk of developing this disease. But only 10% of patients with the disease found genetic patterns in the DNA code. 30 - 60 years old is quite rare, but also need to be careful with this disease because they will have a 50% higher risk than others if there is a family history.
Some cases of genetic mutations have been identified in families with early-onset disease. This dementia poses serious risks to all of humanity. However, APOE variant is not enough to lead to this inherited neurological disorder syndrome. You need to check the overall evaluation early to treat against the risk of dementia syndrome and dangerous diseases.
Huntington's disease Huntington's syndrome is a disorder that causes loss of self-control and reduced mobility. Patients who are diagnosed with this syndrome will experience psychosis and lead to cognitive impairment. To determine heredity, you should have a general examination and check up for detailed advice by a doctor.
Parkinson's disease is manifested by tremors, decreased body flexibility. This response is indicative of a problem with the neurotransmitter dopamine. Certain genes are associated with an increased risk of inheriting the disease. But they are quite rare, so more research is needed to determine the exact influence of the genetic code.
Diseases affecting the arteries Inherited neurological disorders can be detected through family history or early signs in each individual. Headaches or strokes before the age of 60, cognitive behavioral disorders ... are noticed. 90% of patients are affected by genetic factors. You can conduct genetic testing for individuals or families to rule out risk.

2. Experimental study of potential neurological diseases


There are several similar but similar conditions that interfere with testing. The more desirable the detection of the condition, the less likely the patient's recovery will be. To prevent genetic diseases, you should consult DNA testing to find the potential for more than 50 types of genetic diseases early.
Some diseases for which genetic testing is done:
Lou Gehrig's disease Fragile X syndrome Huntington's disease Epilepsy All inherited diseases are called extensive disorders. They will repeat themselves in the DNA sequence causing this problem to affect generations. When scanning the patient's DNA code, up to 37 genes can be found that are likely to cause extensive disorder syndrome. The repetition of sequences can also be determined when analyzing the results.
Neurological diseases so far have not been completely determined to be caused by genetic factors. But genetic tests are thought to screen for the risk of extensive neurological disorders. You need to consult a doctor if the body has abnormal psychological symptoms for early treatment.
