Understanding Your Family’s Epilepsy Risk: TBC1D24 Gene Testing
When epilepsy runs in your family, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. You worry about your children’s future, question every unusual movement, and wonder about the genetic legacy you might pass on. Our TBC1D24 gene test provides the answers you need to make informed decisions about your family’s health and future.
What This Test Reveals About Your Genetic Health
The TBC1D24 gene test uses advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to detect specific mutations associated with familial infantile myoclonic epilepsy. This isn’t just any genetic test – it’s a targeted examination of the precise gene responsible for this particular form of epilepsy that can affect infants and young children in families.
By analysing your DNA, we can identify whether you carry the genetic variations that may increase the risk of this condition in your family. This knowledge becomes powerful information for planning your family’s healthcare journey.
Is This Test Right for Your Family?
Consider this test if:
- Your family has a history of infantile myoclonic epilepsy
- You’re planning a family and want to understand genetic risks
- Your child shows unusual movements or seizure-like symptoms
- Multiple family members have been diagnosed with epilepsy
- You want peace of mind about your genetic health status
Many South African families find that understanding their genetic risk helps them feel more in control of their health decisions.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Family’s Future
Knowing your TBC1D24 gene status provides several crucial benefits:
- Informed Family Planning: Make confident decisions about having children with understanding of genetic risks
- Early Intervention: If needed, early medical management can be arranged
- Reduced Anxiety: Replace uncertainty with clear, actionable information
- Family Awareness: Help other family members understand their potential risk
- Medical Preparedness: Work with healthcare providers to create appropriate monitoring plans
Understanding Your Test Results
We know waiting for genetic results can be stressful. That’s why we provide clear, compassionate explanations of your findings:
- Positive Result: Indicates the presence of TBC1D24 gene mutations. Our genetic counsellors will explain what this means for you and your family, and connect you with appropriate medical specialists.
- Negative Result: No mutations detected in the TBC1D24 gene. This significantly reduces the likelihood of passing this specific form of epilepsy to your children.
- Uncertain Variant: Sometimes we find genetic changes with unknown significance. Our team will explain these findings and recommend appropriate follow-up.
Every result comes with a comprehensive genetic counselling session to ensure you fully understand your genetic health status.
