Peace of Mind for Your Child’s Neurological Health
As a parent in South Africa, watching your child’s development can bring both joy and concern. When neurological symptoms appear, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our Next Generation Sequencing Canavan Disease Test provides the clarity you need to make informed decisions about your child’s health journey.
Understanding Canavan Disease Testing
Canavan Disease is a rare genetic disorder that affects the brain’s white matter, leading to progressive neurological damage. Our advanced Next Generation Sequencing technology examines the ASPA gene with exceptional accuracy, identifying mutations that could impact your child’s neurological development.
Unlike basic screening methods, our comprehensive approach ensures no important genetic variations are missed, giving you complete confidence in your results.
Is This Test Right for Your Family?
Consider this test if your child shows:
- Delayed motor development or difficulty with head control
- Unusual muscle tone (either too stiff or too floppy)
- Feeding difficulties or poor weight gain
- Lack of visual tracking or response to sounds
- Family history of neurological disorders
Many South African families find reassurance through early detection, allowing for better planning and management of their child’s healthcare needs.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Child
Early diagnosis through our Canavan Disease test can:
- Provide definitive answers to guide treatment decisions
- Enable early intervention strategies for better outcomes
- Offer peace of mind through accurate genetic information
- Help plan for future healthcare needs with confidence
- Provide crucial information for family planning decisions
Knowing your child’s genetic status empowers you to work with healthcare providers to create the best possible care plan.
