Take Control of Your Neurological Health: CADASIL Genetic Testing
When unexplained strokes, severe migraines, or cognitive changes affect multiple family members, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. You deserve clear answers about your genetic risk for CADASIL – a hereditary condition that silently threatens neurological health. Our NOTCH3 Mutation Detection test provides the definitive clarity you need to protect your future.
Understanding CADASIL Genetic Testing
CADASIL (Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy) is an inherited condition caused by mutations in the NOTCH3 gene. This test doesn’t just identify risk – it provides concrete genetic evidence that can guide your entire healthcare strategy. Using advanced PCR and sequencing technology, we analyze your NOTCH3 gene with 99.9% accuracy, delivering results you can trust for life-changing decisions.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you or family members experience:
- Unexplained strokes or transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) before age 60
- Severe migraine with aura, especially with unusual symptoms
- Progressive cognitive decline or early-onset dementia
- Mood disorders or psychiatric symptoms alongside neurological issues
- Multiple family members with similar neurological conditions
- White matter changes on brain MRI without clear cause
If these scenarios sound familiar, genetic testing could provide the missing piece in your health puzzle.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Knowing your genetic status empowers you to:
- Prevent future strokes through targeted medical management
- Make informed family planning decisions with genetic counseling
- Access appropriate treatments and avoid unnecessary medications
- Participate in clinical trials and cutting-edge research
- Reduce anxiety through definitive answers rather than uncertainty
- Create personalized monitoring plans with your neurologist
Early detection transforms fear into actionable health strategies.
Understanding Your Test Results
We provide clear, comprehensive reports that your neurologist can easily interpret:
- Positive Result: A NOTCH3 mutation is detected. This confirms CADASIL diagnosis and enables proactive management.
- Negative Result: No known CADASIL-causing mutations found. This provides significant relief and directs investigation toward other causes.
- Variant of Uncertain Significance: Rare genetic changes requiring further evaluation and family studies.
Our genetic counselors are available to help you understand your results and next steps, ensuring you never feel alone in this journey.
