Understanding Your Infant’s Neurological Health: The CDKL5 Gene Test
As a parent, watching your infant struggle with unexplained seizures or developmental delays can be heartbreaking and overwhelming. You’re searching for answers, for clarity, for a path forward. Our CDKL5 Gene Early Infantile Epileptic Encephalopathy Type 2 NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the definitive answers you need to make informed decisions about your child’s care and future.
What This Test Detects
This advanced genetic test specifically identifies mutations in the CDKL5 gene, which is responsible for a severe form of early-onset epilepsy known as Early Infantile Epileptic Encephalopathy Type 2. Using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we examine the entire CDKL5 gene with exceptional precision, detecting even the smallest genetic variations that could be causing your infant’s symptoms.
Who Should Consider This Test
This test is essential for infants showing:
- Early-onset seizures (often beginning in the first months of life)
- Developmental regression or delays
- Abnormal hand movements or stereotypies
- Visual impairment or lack of eye contact
- Feeding difficulties and gastrointestinal issues
- Sleep disturbances and irritability
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Child’s Health
Early diagnosis of CDKL5-related disorders can significantly impact your child’s quality of life. With a confirmed diagnosis, healthcare providers can:
- Implement targeted anti-epileptic treatments sooner
- Develop appropriate developmental support plans
- Provide accurate genetic counselling for family planning
- Connect you with specialized support networks and resources
- Monitor for associated health complications proactively
