Find Answers for Unexplained Neurological Symptoms
When your child or loved one experiences seizures, developmental delays, or movement disorders without clear cause, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our SLC2A1 GLUT1 deficiency genetic test provides the clarity you need through cutting-edge DNA analysis. This specialised test detects mutations that disrupt glucose transport to the brain, offering definitive answers for complex neurological conditions.
Understanding the SLC2A1 GLUT1 Deficiency Test
GLUT1 deficiency syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that affects how glucose reaches the brain. Using next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology, our test examines the SLC2A1 gene for mutations that cause this condition. This advanced approach provides comprehensive analysis with exceptional accuracy, giving you and your healthcare team the information needed for proper diagnosis and treatment planning.
The test is particularly valuable because early detection can significantly improve outcomes through targeted dietary therapies and medication adjustments.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is essential for individuals experiencing:
- Unexplained seizures, especially in infancy or childhood
- Developmental delays affecting speech, motor skills, or learning
- Movement disorders including ataxia or dystonia
- Cognitive impairment without clear cause
- Family history of similar neurological symptoms
- Microcephaly (small head size) with developmental concerns
If your child’s symptoms have puzzled multiple specialists, this genetic test could provide the missing piece to their healthcare puzzle.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Receiving a definitive diagnosis through genetic testing offers multiple life-changing benefits:
- Targeted Treatment: Confirmed GLUT1 deficiency responds well to specific dietary therapies like the ketogenic diet
- Reduced Medication Trials: Avoid unnecessary anti-seizure medications that may not be effective
- Family Planning: Understand inheritance patterns for future family decisions
- Educational Support: Access appropriate educational resources and accommodations
- Peace of Mind: End the diagnostic odyssey and focus on effective management
Early intervention can significantly improve quality of life and developmental outcomes.
