Understanding Your Family’s Genetic Health: DLG3 Gene X-Linked Intellectual Disability Testing
When intellectual disabilities appear to run in families, particularly affecting males more severely, it’s natural to feel concerned about future generations. The DLG3 Gene X-Linked Intellectual Disability Type 90 NGS Genetic Test provides the answers you need to make informed decisions about your family’s health journey. Our compassionate approach combines cutting-edge technology with expert genetic counselling to guide you through this important process.
What This Test Detects
The DLG3 gene plays a crucial role in brain development and function. When mutations occur in this gene, they can lead to X-linked intellectual disability type 90 – a condition that primarily affects males and can cause varying degrees of intellectual challenges. Our Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your DNA with exceptional precision, identifying even the smallest genetic variations that could impact cognitive development.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important for families experiencing:
- Multiple cases of intellectual disability affecting male family members
- Unexplained developmental delays in boys
- Family history suggesting X-linked inheritance patterns
- Planning for pregnancy with concerns about genetic risks
- Seeking clarity about recurrence risks in future generations
If your family has experienced these patterns across generations, this test can provide the genetic confirmation needed for proper planning and support.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Family’s Health
Understanding your genetic risk empowers you to:
- Make informed family planning decisions with genetic counselling support
- Access early intervention services if needed
- Reduce uncertainty and anxiety about future pregnancies
- Connect with appropriate support networks and resources
- Create personalized educational and developmental plans
Early knowledge allows for proactive management and better outcomes for affected individuals.
