Understanding Your Family’s Genetic Health Journey
When concerns about intellectual development or learning disabilities arise in your family, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. We understand the emotional weight of these questions and the importance of finding clear, reliable answers. Our CTNNB1 Gene Test is designed specifically to provide South African families with the clarity they need to make informed decisions about their health and future.
What Does This Test Detect?
The CTNNB1 gene plays a crucial role in brain development and function. Mutations in this gene can lead to Autosomal Dominant Mental Retardation Type 19, a condition characterised by intellectual disability and developmental delays. Our advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your DNA to identify any abnormalities in the CTNNB1 gene, providing you with definitive answers about your genetic risk profile.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Unexplained intellectual disability or learning difficulties
- Family history of developmental delays
- Concerns about inherited neurological conditions
- Planning for pregnancy with known family genetic risks
- Unexplained developmental milestones delays in children
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Family’s Health
Early identification of CTNNB1 gene mutations can be life-changing. With this knowledge, families can:
- Access early intervention programmes and support services
- Make informed family planning decisions
- Develop personalised educational and developmental strategies
- Connect with appropriate medical specialists and support networks
- Reduce uncertainty and anxiety about future health outcomes

- Explain your results in clear, understandable language
