Understanding Your Child’s Neurological Health Journey
When your infant experiences seizures or developmental concerns, every parent’s heart aches for answers. The GABRB1 gene test provides the clarity South African families need to understand early infantile epileptic encephalopathy type 45 – a rare but serious neurological condition affecting infants in their first months of life.
What This Test Reveals About Your Child’s Health
This advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) test specifically examines the GABRB1 gene for mutations that cause early infantile epileptic encephalopathy type 45. The GABRB1 gene plays a crucial role in brain development and function, and when mutations occur, they can disrupt normal neurological activity, leading to the seizures and developmental challenges characteristic of this condition.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test
This test is essential for South African families when their infant shows:
- Unexplained seizures in the first months of life
- Developmental delays or regression
- Abnormal muscle tone or movement patterns
- Family history of similar neurological conditions
- Previous inconclusive epilepsy testing
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Family
Getting an accurate diagnosis through GABRB1 testing provides multiple life-changing benefits:
- Targeted Treatment Plans: Helps neurologists develop specific medication strategies
- Family Planning Guidance: Provides crucial information for future pregnancies
- Early Intervention: Enables timely developmental support services
- Peace of Mind: Reduces the stress of uncertainty about your child’s condition
- Medical Cost Savings: Prevents unnecessary treatments and hospitalisations
Understanding Your Test Results with Confidence
Our comprehensive approach includes genetic counselling to help you understand your results clearly. Positive results provide definitive diagnosis, allowing for targeted medical management. Negative results offer reassurance and help guide further investigation if needed. Either way, you’ll have the information necessary to make informed decisions about your child’s care.
