Understanding ROBO3 Gene Gaze Palsy with Progressive Scoliosis
If you’re worried about unexplained eye movement difficulties or progressive spinal curvature in your family, you’re not alone. Many South African families face the uncertainty of rare genetic conditions, and the ROBO3 gene disorder can be particularly challenging to diagnose without proper genetic testing. This condition affects the brain’s ability to control horizontal eye movements while causing progressive scoliosis that worsens over time.
What This Test Detects
Our advanced NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) technology examines the ROBO3 gene for specific mutations that cause horizontal gaze palsy with progressive scoliosis. This comprehensive analysis identifies even the smallest genetic variations that traditional testing might miss, providing you with definitive answers about this rare neurological condition.
Who Should Consider This Test
This test is essential for individuals experiencing:
- Difficulty moving eyes horizontally from side to side
- Progressive spinal curvature (scoliosis) developing in childhood
- Family history of similar eye movement or spinal issues
- Unexplained neurological symptoms affecting coordination
- Children showing developmental delays in motor skills
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Family’s Health
Getting an accurate diagnosis through genetic testing provides numerous benefits:
- Clear Treatment Direction: Knowing the specific genetic cause helps neurologists create targeted treatment plans
- Family Planning Confidence: Understand inheritance patterns for informed family decisions
- Prevent Unnecessary Procedures: Avoid repeated diagnostic tests and incorrect treatments
- Early Intervention: Begin appropriate therapies and monitoring sooner
- Peace of Mind: End the uncertainty and anxiety of not knowing
