Find Answers for Unexplained Seizures and Neurological Symptoms
When seizures, developmental delays, or unusual neurological symptoms affect your family, finding clear answers becomes your top priority. Our CNTNAP2 Gene Cortical Dysplasia-Focal Epilepsy Syndrome NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity and certainty you need to make informed decisions about your neurological health journey.
Understanding Your CNTNAP2 Genetic Test
This advanced genetic test examines the CNTNAP2 gene, which plays a crucial role in brain development and function. When mutations occur in this gene, they can lead to cortical dysplasia-focal epilepsy syndrome – a condition characterised by abnormal brain development and recurrent seizures. Our NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) technology provides the most comprehensive analysis available, detecting even subtle genetic changes that might be missed by conventional testing methods.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your child experiences:
- Unexplained seizures or epilepsy that doesn’t respond well to standard treatments
- Developmental delays in speech, language, or motor skills
- Autism spectrum disorder features alongside seizure activity
- Family history of epilepsy or neurological disorders
- Abnormal brain imaging showing cortical dysplasia
- Multiple seizure types that began in childhood
Early genetic testing can provide answers when traditional diagnostic methods have been inconclusive.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Neurological Health
Getting a definitive genetic diagnosis offers multiple life-changing benefits:
- Personalised Treatment Plans: Understanding the genetic cause helps neurologists tailor medication and therapy specifically for your condition
- Improved Seizure Management: Genetic insights can guide more effective anti-epileptic drug selection
- Family Planning Guidance: Know the inheritance pattern and risks for future children
- Reduced Diagnostic Uncertainty: End the cycle of inconclusive tests and unexplained symptoms
- Access to Support Networks: Connect with others facing similar genetic conditions
- Peace of Mind: Replace uncertainty with clear understanding and a path forward
Understanding Your Test Results
Our comprehensive genetic counselling ensures you fully understand your results and their implications:
- Positive Result: Confirms a CNTNAP2 gene mutation. Our genetic counsellors will explain what this means for your health management and family
- Negative Result: Rules out CNTNAP2-related epilepsy, allowing your medical team to explore other potential causes
- Variant of Uncertain Significance: Rare cases where a genetic change is found but its clinical significance isn’t yet known. We provide ongoing monitoring as research evolves
Every result comes with detailed interpretation and recommendations from our specialist neurologists and genetic counsellors.
