CRYAB Gene Myopathy NGS Genetic DNA Test: Protecting Your Child’s Future
When your infant shows signs of muscle weakness or developmental concerns, every moment counts. The CRYAB Gene Myopathy test provides the clarity South African families need to make informed healthcare decisions. This advanced genetic screening detects mutations that can cause fatal infantile muscle disease, giving you the power to act early and protect your child’s health.
Understanding the CRYAB Gene Myopathy Test
The CRYAB Gene Myopathy test examines the alpha-B crystallin gene using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology. This gene produces a protein essential for maintaining muscle cell structure. When mutations occur, they can lead to myofibrillar myopathy – a serious condition that typically appears in infancy and can be life-threatening without proper management.
Our test doesn’t just identify problems; it provides a roadmap for your child’s healthcare journey. With 99.9% accuracy, you can trust the results to guide treatment decisions and family planning.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is crucial for infants and families experiencing:
- Unexplained muscle weakness or poor muscle tone in infants
- Delayed motor development milestones
- Family history of muscle disorders or sudden infant deaths
- Previous children with similar symptoms
- Concerns about genetic inheritance patterns
If your child struggles with feeding, breathing difficulties, or shows progressive muscle deterioration, this test provides the answers you need.
