Understanding ATP6AP2 Gene X-Linked Mental Retardation with Epilepsy
When developmental concerns or epilepsy affect your family, the search for answers can feel overwhelming. We understand the emotional journey you’re facing and provide the clarity needed through advanced genetic testing. Our ATP6AP2 Gene Test offers definitive answers about X-linked inheritance patterns, giving South African families the certainty they deserve.
What This Test Detects
The ATP6AP2 Gene Test uses Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify mutations in the ATP6AP2 gene, which is responsible for X-linked mental retardation with epilepsy. This condition follows an X-linked inheritance pattern, meaning it primarily affects males while females can be carriers. Our test provides comprehensive analysis of this specific gene, helping families understand their genetic risk and inheritance patterns.
