Frequently Asked Questions

What is CODAS syndrome?
CODAS syndrome is a rare genetic disorder affecting cerebral, ocular, dental, auricular, and skeletal systems, caused by mutations in the LONP1 gene.
What causes CODAS syndrome?
CODAS syndrome is caused by mutations in the LONP1 gene, which is involved in protein breakdown and recycling within cells.
What are the symptoms of CODAS syndrome?
Symptoms include cognitive impairment, eye abnormalities, dental issues, hearing loss, and skeletal deformities like scoliosis.
How is CODAS syndrome diagnosed?
Diagnosis involves clinical evaluation, genetic testing (such as NGS for LONP1 gene), and imaging studies.
What is the LONP1 gene?
The LONP1 gene provides instructions for making a protein that helps break down and recycle damaged proteins in cells.
What is NGS genetic testing?
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is an advanced technology that analyzes DNA to detect genetic mutations with high accuracy.
How accurate is the LONP1 gene CODAS syndrome test?
The NGS test is highly accurate and can detect even rare mutations in the LONP1 gene.
What is the cost of the test?
The cost is INR 20,000, which includes testing, result interpretation, and genetic counseling.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, free home sample collection is available for online bookings across India.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks.
What should I do if the test is positive?
If positive, consult a genetic counselor for family screening and management options.
Can CODAS syndrome be treated?
There is no cure, but management focuses on treating symptoms and supportive care. Early diagnosis aids in planning.
