Find Clarity for Neurological Concerns with Advanced Genetic Testing
When you or your loved one experiences unexplained neurological symptoms, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our Megalencephalic Leukoencephalopathy with Subcortical Cysts genetic test provides the definitive answers you need to move forward with confidence. This specialised test detects the genetic mutations responsible for this rare brain disorder, offering clarity where uncertainty once prevailed.
Understanding Your Genetic Health
Megalencephalic Leukoencephalopathy with Subcortical Cysts (MLC) is a rare genetic disorder that affects brain development and function. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines the MLC1 and HEPACAM genes with exceptional precision, identifying mutations that could impact neurological health. Think of this test as a detailed roadmap of your genetic blueprint, specifically focused on brain health markers.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Unexplained developmental delays in childhood
- Progressive motor function difficulties
- Enlarged head size (macrocephaly) without clear cause
- Family history of neurological disorders
- Abnormal brain MRI findings showing white matter changes
- Seizures or epilepsy with unknown origin
Many South African families find peace of mind through early detection, allowing for better management and treatment planning.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Family’s Health
Genetic testing for MLC offers profound benefits for your family’s wellbeing:
- Early Intervention: Identify risks before symptoms become severe
- Treatment Guidance: Inform medical decisions with precise genetic information
- Family Planning: Understand inheritance patterns for future generations
- Peace of Mind: Replace uncertainty with clear, actionable information
- Reduced Healthcare Costs: Early detection can prevent costly diagnostic journeys
