What this test is

This test is a genetic screening tool used to detect specific mutations associated with Canavan disease. It helps identify carriers who may pass the condition to their children. The test focuses on four known mutations linked to the disease.

What it measures

  • E285A — reflects a mutation associated with Canavan disease
  • Y231X — reflects a mutation associated with Canavan disease
  • 433-2A>G — reflects a mutation associated with Canavan disease
  • A305E — reflects a mutation associated with Canavan disease

What the test involves

The test involves a standard blood draw, where a sample is collected from a vein in your arm. This sample is then analyzed for specific genetic mutations.

Why it is often ordered

Clinicians typically order this test for individuals with Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry to assess their carrier status for Canavan disease. It may also be ordered if there is a family history of the condition.

Preparation

Preparation instructions are provided by the lab conducting the test. Always follow the specific guidelines given by the collection lab.
