Understanding PC Gene Leigh Syndrome: Your Path to Clarity and Peace of Mind
When your child or family member experiences unexplained neurological symptoms, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. PC Gene Leigh syndrome, caused by pyruvate carboxylase deficiency, is a serious metabolic disorder that affects brain development and function. At Oracle Genomics, we understand the emotional journey you’re facing, and we’re here to provide the accurate genetic answers you need to make informed healthcare decisions.
What This Test Reveals About Your Genetic Health
Our advanced NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) genetic DNA test specifically examines the PC gene for mutations that cause pyruvate carboxylase deficiency. This sophisticated technology allows us to detect even the smallest genetic variations with remarkable precision, giving you and your healthcare provider the definitive information needed for proper diagnosis and management.
Pyruvate carboxylase is a crucial enzyme that helps your body convert food into energy. When this enzyme doesn’t function properly due to genetic mutations, it can lead to Leigh syndrome – a progressive neurological disorder that typically appears in infancy or early childhood.
Is This Test Right for Your Family?
This genetic test is particularly important if you or your child experience:
- Unexplained developmental delays or regression in motor skills
- Seizures or epilepsy that’s difficult to control
- Muscle weakness, poor muscle tone, or movement disorders
- Feeding difficulties and failure to thrive in infancy
- Breathing problems or irregular breathing patterns
- Family history of metabolic disorders or Leigh syndrome
- Unexplained neurological symptoms in multiple family members
Many South African families have found answers through this testing, helping them navigate complex neurological health challenges with greater confidence.
