Find Answers for Unexplained Muscle Weakness with CNTN1 Gene Testing
When your child struggles with movement, muscle weakness, or developmental delays, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. The CNTN1 Gene Compton-North Congenital Myopathy Test provides the clarity South African families need to understand these challenging symptoms and create an effective management plan.
Understanding Your CNTN1 Gene Test
This specialised genetic test examines the CNTN1 gene using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify mutations that cause Compton-North congenital myopathy. This rare muscle disorder affects how muscles develop and function from birth, often causing weakness, breathing difficulties, and delayed motor milestones.
Our advanced testing method provides 99.9% accuracy, giving you reliable results you can trust for making important healthcare decisions for your child.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if your child experiences:
- Unexplained muscle weakness from infancy
- Delayed motor development (sitting, crawling, walking)
- Breathing difficulties or weak cry
- Feeding problems in infancy
- Family history of muscle disorders
- Abnormal muscle tone or contractures
Early testing can provide answers that lead to better management and improved quality of life.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Child’s Health
Getting a definitive diagnosis through CNTN1 gene testing offers multiple benefits:
- Personalised Care Plans: Understand the specific type of myopathy to create targeted treatment approaches
