Frequently Asked Questions

Short answers to the FAQs published with this service.

• What is the CLN5 gene?

It is a gene responsible for producing a protein that supports lysosomal functions; mutations lead to NCL Type 5.

• Does this test require fasting?

No, fasting is not required for CLN5 gene sequencing; the sample can be collected at any time.

• Who should undergo this test?

Individuals showing early neurodegenerative symptoms or those with relatives diagnosed with the condition.

• What does a positive result mean?

It indicates the presence of a disease-linked mutation, supporting the clinical diagnosis and requiring genetic counseling.

• Can the test be done at home?

Yes, Lahalak platform offers home sample collection services by specialists for your convenience.

• How long does it take to get the results?

Due to the complexity of genetic sequencing, results may take several weeks to ensure precision and accuracy.
