Find Answers for Unexplained Seizures with Learning and Behaviour Challenges
When epilepsy appears alongside learning difficulties and behavioural concerns, it can feel overwhelming for families across South Africa. Our SYN1 Gene Epilepsy X-Linked Genetic Test provides the clarity you need to understand this complex condition and create effective management strategies for better quality of life.
Understanding the SYN1 Gene Epilepsy Test
This specialised genetic test uses Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify mutations in the SYN1 gene, which is responsible for a rare form of X-linked epilepsy that often presents with learning disabilities and behavioural disorders. Unlike standard epilepsy tests, this targeted approach gives you specific, actionable information about the genetic basis of your condition.
The test requires either a blood sample, extracted DNA, or a simple blood spot on an FTA card, making it accessible for patients of all ages throughout Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, and Pretoria.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your child experiences:
- Unexplained seizures that began in childhood
- Learning difficulties alongside epilepsy symptoms
- Behavioural challenges including attention issues or social difficulties
- Family history of similar neurological conditions
- Multiple family members affected by epilepsy with cognitive concerns
Many South African families have found answers through this testing when traditional epilepsy diagnoses didn’t explain the full picture of their health challenges.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Getting a precise genetic diagnosis offers significant benefits for managing this condition:
- Personalised Treatment Plans: Understand which medications and therapies work best for SYN1-related epilepsy
- Educational Support: Access appropriate learning assistance and school accommodations
- Behaviour Management: Develop targeted strategies for behavioural challenges
- Family Planning Guidance: Understand inheritance patterns for future family decisions
- Peace of Mind: End the uncertainty and start focused management
Understanding Your Test Results
Our comprehensive approach includes genetic counselling before testing to create a detailed family history. This ensures we provide context for your results and help you understand what they mean for your health journey.
Your results will clearly indicate whether a SYN1 gene mutation is present, and our medical team will explain the implications for treatment, management, and family planning. We provide ongoing support to help you implement the findings into your healthcare strategy.
