Understanding Your GM1-Gangliosidosis Genetic Test
GM1-gangliosidosis type 1 is a rare inherited disorder that affects the nervous system. Our test uses Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to examine the GLB1 gene for mutations that could cause this condition. This isn’t just a simple blood test – it’s a comprehensive genetic analysis that provides detailed information about your specific genetic makeup.
