Understanding AFF2 FRAXE X-Linked Mental Retardation: Your Family’s Genetic Health Matters
When you’re concerned about inherited intellectual disabilities running in your family, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Many South African families face this worry silently, not knowing where to turn for answers. Our AFF2 FRAXE genetic test provides the clarity you need to make informed decisions about your family’s health future.
What This Test Reveals About Your Genetic Health
The AFF2 gene test specifically identifies mutations at the FRAXE fragile site on the X chromosome, which is responsible for X-linked intellectual disability. Unlike general genetic screenings, this targeted analysis gives you precise information about whether you carry this specific inherited condition that can affect male family members more severely.
Using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology with 99.9% accuracy, we examine the exact genetic markers associated with FRAXE-related mental retardation. This isn’t just a test – it’s a roadmap to understanding your family’s genetic legacy and protecting future generations.
Is This Test Right for Your Family?
Consider this genetic testing if your family history includes:
- Multiple male relatives with intellectual disabilities or developmental delays
- Unexplained learning difficulties in boys within your family
- Previous diagnoses of X-linked mental retardation without genetic confirmation
- Planning for pregnancy with concerns about inherited conditions
- Family members from Johannesburg, Cape Town, or Durban seeking genetic clarity
Early detection through genetic testing can provide the answers that transform uncertainty into actionable health knowledge.

- Family Planning Confidence: Make informed reproductive decisions with complete genetic information
