Understanding Joubert Syndrome Type 7: Your Path to Genetic Clarity
When neurological conditions run in families, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. If you’re concerned about Joubert Syndrome Type 7 affecting your loved ones or future children, our RPGRIP1L genetic test provides the answers you need with compassion and clinical excellence.
What This Test Reveals About Your Genetic Health
The RPGRIP1L gene test uses Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify mutations that cause Joubert Syndrome Type 7 – a rare neurological disorder affecting brain development. This isn’t just a test; it’s a comprehensive genetic health assessment that gives you definitive information about your genetic makeup and potential risks.
Our advanced NGS technology examines the RPGRIP1L gene with 99.9% accuracy, detecting even the smallest genetic variations that could impact your family’s health journey.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your family experience:

- Abnormal eye movements or vision problems in childhood
- Developmental delays or intellectual disability
- Breathing pattern abnormalities in infancy

Many South African families find peace of mind through genetic testing, especially when there’s uncertainty about inherited conditions.
