Find Clarity About Leigh Syndrome and Mitochondrial Health
When neurological symptoms appear or family history raises concerns about mitochondrial disorders, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our SURF1 Gene Leigh Syndrome NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the definitive answers you need to move forward with confidence and peace of mind.
Understanding Your SURF1 Gene Test
This advanced genetic test specifically examines the SURF1 gene, which plays a crucial role in mitochondrial function. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to COX (cytochrome c oxidase) deficiency, causing Leigh syndrome – a severe neurological disorder that typically appears in infancy or early childhood.
Using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we analyse your DNA with exceptional precision to identify any mutations that could affect your mitochondrial health. This isn’t just a test – it’s a pathway to understanding your genetic blueprint and making informed decisions about your health journey.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your child experience:
- Unexplained neurological symptoms or developmental delays
- Family history of Leigh syndrome or mitochondrial disorders
- Progressive loss of motor skills or muscle weakness
- Breathing difficulties or feeding problems in infancy
- Seizures or movement disorders without clear cause
- Planning for pregnancy with family history of mitochondrial disease
Early detection through genetic testing can guide appropriate medical management and provide clarity for family planning decisions.
Why This Test Matters for Your Family’s Health
Getting definitive answers about SURF1 gene mutations offers profound benefits:
- Peace of Mind: Eliminate uncertainty about genetic risks
- Early Intervention: Guide appropriate medical care and management
- Family Planning: Make informed decisions about future pregnancies
