Find Answers for Hydrocephalus and Bowel Disorders with L1CAM Gene Testing
When your child faces unexplained health challenges like hydrocephalus or intestinal blockages, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our L1CAM gene test provides the clarity you need to understand these complex conditions and make informed decisions about your family’s health journey.
Understanding Your L1CAM Gene Test
The L1CAM gene plays a crucial role in brain development and nervous system function. When mutations occur in this gene, they can lead to hydrocephalus (fluid buildup in the brain) with aqueductal stenosis (narrowing of brain passages) and congenital intestinal pseudo-obstruction (bowel movement problems). Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your DNA to identify these specific mutations, giving you definitive answers about these complex conditions.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is essential if you or your child experiences:
- Unexplained hydrocephalus or enlarged head circumference
- Recurrent bowel obstructions without physical blockage
- Developmental delays or neurological symptoms
- Family history of similar conditions
- Multiple family members with hydrocephalus or bowel disorders
Early testing can help prevent complications and guide appropriate treatment strategies.
