Understanding Your Family’s Genetic Health: MAN1B1 Gene Testing
When developmental concerns arise in your family, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. We understand the emotional journey you’re facing and the need for clear, reliable answers about genetic conditions like autosomal recessive mental retardation type 15. Our MAN1B1 Gene NGS DNA Test provides the clarity South African families deserve, helping you make informed decisions about your loved one’s health and future.
What This Test Detects
The MAN1B1 gene plays a crucial role in brain development and function. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to autosomal recessive mental retardation type 15 – a condition where both parents must carry the gene mutation for it to be passed to their children. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines this specific gene with exceptional accuracy, identifying mutations that might otherwise go undetected.
This isn’t just a test – it’s a pathway to understanding. By identifying these genetic variations early, families can access appropriate support, interventions, and management strategies that can significantly improve quality of life.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important for families experiencing:
- Unexplained developmental delays in children
- Family history of intellectual disability or mental retardation
- Consanguineous marriages (marriages between blood relatives)
- Multiple family members with similar developmental concerns
- Planning for future pregnancies with known family genetic risks
If you’ve noticed developmental milestones being missed or have concerns about your child’s cognitive development, this test can provide the answers you need to move forward with confidence.
