Understanding Your Baby’s Seizures: The KCNQ2 Gene Test That Brings Answers
As a parent, watching your newborn experience seizures can be one of the most frightening experiences imaginable. The uncertainty, the worry, and the desperate need for answers can feel overwhelming. At Oracle Genomics, we understand this emotional journey and provide the clarity and support your family needs through our specialised KCNQ2 Gene Seizures Benign Neonatal Type 1 NGS Genetic DNA Test.
What Does This Test Actually Detect?
This advanced genetic test specifically examines the KCNQ2 gene, which plays a crucial role in your baby’s brain development and function. When this gene has variations, it can cause benign neonatal seizures – a condition that typically appears in the first few days of life. Our test uses Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, the gold standard in genetic testing, to provide highly accurate results that help your healthcare team understand exactly what’s happening.
Is This Test Right for Your Family?
This test is specifically designed for families who have experienced:
- Newborns with unexplained seizures in the first week of life
- Family history of neonatal seizures or epilepsy
- Babies with brief, repetitive seizure episodes
- Normal development between seizure episodes
- Concerns about future neurological development
If your baby has shown any of these symptoms, this test could provide the answers that help guide their treatment and future care.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Child’s Future
Getting the right diagnosis early can make a significant difference in your child’s health journey. With accurate KCNQ2 testing, you can:
- Receive proper treatment guidance from your neurologist
- Understand the long-term prognosis for your child
