A patient’s DNA is sequenced from a blood sample with the use of the ABI Big Dye Terminator v.3.0 kit. Since this is a genetic disease, the basis of diagnosis lies in identifying genetic mutations or chromosomal abnormalities. The DNA sequence can be run with CLN8 Sanger sequencing or CLN8 Targeted Familial Mutations whether its single, double, or triple exon sequencing. Also, preliminary evidence of the disease can be detected by means of MRI and EEG. These tests identify lipid content of the brain, and any anomaly from the norm may be linked to<unk>  epilepsy.
