- ASPA gene mutations (E285A, Y231X, 433-2A>G, A305E) The four genetic variants analyzed to identify Canavan disease carriers and affected individuals.
Before your visit
- No fasting is required for Canavan carrier testing.
- Take usual medications unless told otherwise.
- Share family history and reproductive plans.
- A blood or saliva sample may be used.
- Genetic counseling is advised before and after testing.
Understanding your results
Detection of one of the analyzed ASPA mutations can indicate carrier status, while certain combinations may indicate an affected individual. Carriers typically have no symptoms but can pass the condition to a child if both partners are carriers. Because results can have family-planning implications, review them with a genetic counselor. Discuss the findings with a healthcare provider and genetic counselor.
