Understanding Your Infant’s Neurological Health: GRIN2D Gene Epilepsy Testing
As parents in South Africa, watching your infant experience unexplained seizures can be terrifying and overwhelming. You’re not alone in your search for answers. Our GRIN2D Gene Early Infantile Epileptic Encephalopathy Type 46 NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity and direction you need during this challenging time. For just ZAR 6,700 (regularly ZAR 9,350), you can access advanced genetic testing that brings peace of mind and a clear path forward.
What This Test Detects: Understanding GRIN2D Gene Mutations
The GRIN2D gene plays a crucial role in brain development and function. When mutations occur in this gene, they can lead to Early Infantile Epileptic Encephalopathy Type 46 – a severe form of epilepsy that typically appears in the first months of life. Our test uses Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to examine this gene with exceptional accuracy, identifying even the smallest genetic variations that could be affecting your child’s neurological health.
Who Should Consider This Test: Recognizing the Signs
This test is particularly important for infants showing:
- Unexplained seizures in the first year of life
- Developmental delays or regression
- Abnormal muscle tone or movement patterns
- Family history of early-onset epilepsy
- Resistance to standard anti-epileptic medications
- Abnormal EEG patterns without clear cause
If your infant has been experiencing any of these symptoms, early genetic testing can provide crucial information for their treatment and management.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Child’s Future
Getting a definitive diagnosis through genetic testing offers multiple life-changing benefits:
- Personalised Treatment Plans: Knowing the specific genetic cause allows neurologists to tailor treatment specifically for GRIN2D-related epilepsy
- Family Planning Guidance: Understand the inheritance pattern and risks for future pregnancies
- Early Intervention: Begin appropriate therapies and interventions sooner for better outcomes
- Reduced Diagnostic Uncertainty: End the cycle of multiple tests and uncertain diagnoses
- Connection to Specialist Care: Access to neurologists experienced in genetic epilepsy disorders
