Understanding Your Child’s Neurological Health: The TSEN54 Gene Test
When you notice developmental delays or neurological concerns in your child, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. As parents, you deserve clear answers and a path forward. The TSEN54 Gene Pontocerebellar Hypoplasia Type 4 NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the definitive clarity South African families need to understand complex neurological conditions and plan for the future with confidence.
What This Test Reveals About Neurological Health
This advanced genetic test specifically examines the TSEN54 gene for mutations that cause Pontocerebellar Hypoplasia Type 4 (PCH4), a rare neurological disorder affecting brain development. Using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we can identify even the smallest genetic variations with exceptional accuracy, giving you reliable results you can trust for making important healthcare decisions.
When Should South African Families Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if your child shows:
- Delayed motor development or difficulty with coordination
- Progressive microcephaly (small head size)
- Muscle weakness or poor muscle tone
- Developmental regression or loss of skills
- Family history of similar neurological conditions
- Unexplained seizures or movement disorders
Early detection through genetic testing can help South African families access appropriate interventions and support services sooner.
Why Early Genetic Testing Matters for Your Family’s Health
Getting clear answers through genetic testing provides multiple benefits:
- Peace of Mind: Reduce uncertainty and anxiety with definitive results
