What is an Episodic Ataxia Comprehensive Profile Test?

Mutations in several genes that play important roles in the nervous system can cause episodic ataxia. A blood sample is taken and the DNA in it is tested for any genetic mutation known to cause ataxia. At the moment, tests can detect the mutations that cause Friedreich's ataxia, ataxia-telangiectasia, and the majority of spinocerebellar ataxias.

Three of these genes, KCNA1, CACNA1A, and CACNB4, encode proteins involved in the transport of charged atoms (ions) across cell membranes.
