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. Carrier screening can clarify whether an individual carries a variant that could be passed to future generations.
About Canavan Disease Carrier Test | Ashkenazi in Pacifica
Canavan disease carrier testing focuses on identifying individuals who carry one altered copy of the ASPA gene without developing the disease themselves.
Canavan disease follows an autosomal recessive pattern. A child is affected only when both parents contribute a pathogenic variant in the ASPA gene. Carriers typically have one normal copy and one altered copy, and they usually do not experience symptoms.
The four mutations assessed here are among those observed with increased frequency in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry. Because carrier frequency varies across populations, testing is most informative when the specific variants included in the panel match an individual's background and family history.
Detecting carrier status allows individuals and couples to make informed reproductive decisions in consultation with a healthcare provider or genetic counselor. This test may also identify affected individuals when two pathogenic variants are present, though clinical diagnosis always requires a comprehensive evaluation.
