Understanding SLC35C1 Gene Glycosylation Disorder Type 2C
When you’re concerned about rare genetic conditions affecting your family’s health, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. SLC35C1 Gene Glycosylation Disorder Type 2C is a rare inherited condition that impacts how the body processes sugars attached to proteins, which is essential for proper neurological development and function. Our advanced genetic testing provides the answers you need to make informed healthcare decisions.
What This Test Detects
This comprehensive NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) test specifically examines the SLC35C1 gene for mutations that cause Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation Type 2C. The SLC35C1 gene provides instructions for making a protein that transports a specific sugar molecule needed for proper glycosylation – the process of attaching sugar molecules to proteins. When this process is disrupted, it can lead to serious neurological and developmental challenges.
Who Should Consider This Test
This test is particularly important for individuals or families experiencing:
- Unexplained developmental delays in infants or children
- Neurological symptoms without clear diagnosis
- Family history of similar genetic conditions
- Multiple miscarriages or infant losses
- Children with feeding difficulties and failure to thrive
- Seizures or movement disorders of unknown origin
Why Early Detection Matters
Early identification of SLC35C1 mutations can significantly impact treatment outcomes and family planning decisions. Knowing your genetic status allows for:
- Targeted medical management and monitoring
- Informed family planning decisions
- Early intervention strategies
- Peace of mind through definitive diagnosis
- Connection with appropriate specialist care
