Neuro Genetics

Neurogenetics is not a rare condition, and it is estimated that 10% of patients are diagnosed with neurological conditions with the single muted gene. When it comes to polygenic inheritance, it is a larger proposition. Neurogenetic diseases are a primary cause for alteration or mutation in our DNA. It can affect the young and the old alike. The disorders are debilitating and chronic. These are degenerative and life limiting. These have a great impact on the health and economy of a nation.

The nervous system consists of the central peripheral networks. It is the central processing unit including the brain and the spinal cord. When the network is disrupted, and the entire operating system is out of order, this could lead to devastating consequence in the body. The neurogenetic disease leads to neuronal misfiring and degeneration of specific neurons or death of the neuronal cell. It impacts the overall nervous system leading to clinical symptoms. In this case, diagnosis is difficult.

A person diagnosed with neuro genetic disease will have to face progressive disability. It impacts the independence and quality of life on an individual. At times it can result in devastating cognitive functions. In this situation, the ability to reason also decreases. Before the 1980s, the disease could not be diagnosed precisely, and hence it was difficult to check its progression. Accurate diagnosis can help prevent familial disorder.
