Find Clarity for Sjogren-Larsson Syndrome Concerns
When you’re worried about persistent neurological symptoms or have a family history of rare genetic conditions, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. Our ALDH3A2 gene test provides the definitive answers you need to move forward with confidence and proper medical guidance.
Understanding Your ALDH3A2 Gene Test
This advanced genetic test specifically examines the ALDH3A2 gene using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology – the gold standard in genetic testing. The ALDH3A2 gene produces an enzyme essential for fatty alcohol metabolism, and mutations in this gene cause Sjogren-Larsson syndrome, a rare inherited disorder affecting the skin and nervous system.
Our test doesn’t just provide results; it provides clarity. By identifying specific genetic mutations, we help you and your healthcare team understand the underlying cause of symptoms and plan appropriate management strategies.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your child experience:
- Ichthyosis (scaly, dry skin) present from birth or early infancy
- Spastic diplegia or tetraplegia (muscle stiffness and weakness)
- Intellectual disability or developmental delays
- Eye abnormalities including retinal degeneration
- Family history of Sjogren-Larsson syndrome
- Unexplained neurological symptoms in childhood
Early diagnosis can significantly impact treatment planning and quality of life management.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Getting a definitive diagnosis through genetic testing provides multiple life-changing benefits:
- Accurate Diagnosis: Move beyond symptom management to understanding the root cause
- Family Planning Guidance: Understand inheritance patterns for future family decisions
- Targeted Treatment: Work with neurologists to develop personalised management plans
- Peace of Mind: End the diagnostic uncertainty and begin focused care
- Early Intervention: Implement appropriate therapies and support systems sooner
