Finding Answers for Developmental Delays: The KMT2C Gene Test
When your child isn’t meeting developmental milestones, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Many South African parents experience this worry, wondering if there’s a genetic reason behind developmental delays. Our KMT2C Gene Developmental Delay NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity you need to move forward with confidence and create the best possible care plan for your child.
Understanding the KMT2C Gene Test
The KMT2C gene plays a vital role in brain development and function. When mutations occur in this gene, they can lead to developmental delays, learning difficulties, and other neurological challenges. Our test uses advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to examine this specific gene with exceptional accuracy.
Think of it as reading the complete instruction manual for your child’s neurological development. We’re looking for any spelling errors or missing pages that might explain developmental concerns.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if your child or family member shows:
- Delayed speech or language development
- Slow motor skill development (sitting, crawling, walking)
- Learning difficulties or intellectual disability
- Social interaction challenges
- Family history of developmental delays
- Unexplained neurological symptoms
Many families in Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban have found that early genetic testing provided the answers they needed to access appropriate support services and therapies.
