Order Canavan Disease Carrier Test | AshkenaziCanavan disease is a rare inherited neurological disorder caused by variants in the ASPA gene, which encodes the enzyme aspartoacylase. This test examines four specific mutations linked to the condition: E285A, Y231X, 433-2A>G, and A305E.
About Canavan Disease Carrier Test | Ashkenazi in Amarillo
The Canavan Disease Carrier Test | Ashkenazi uses a blood sample to determine whether a person carries or is affected by known mutations in the ASPA gene.
Canavan disease follows an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. A person who carries one altered copy of ASPA typically does not develop symptoms but can pass the variant to offspring. When both parents are carriers, each pregnancy carries a one-in-four chance of producing an affected child.
The four mutations detected by this assay—E285A, Y231X, 433-2A>G, and A305E—are among the most frequently observed changes in the ASPA gene in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent. The test distinguishes carriers, who have a single mutation, from affected individuals, who have two mutations, and from those with no detected mutation.
Results should be interpreted in the context of family history and other clinical findings. A negative result reduces but does not eliminate the possibility of being a carrier, because the test targets specific mutations rather than sequencing the entire gene.
