Find Clarity About Metabolic Health with SLC25A1 Genetic Testing
When unexplained neurological symptoms or developmental concerns arise, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our SLC25A1 Gene Test provides the answers you need to understand and manage Combined D-2- and L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria – a rare metabolic disorder that affects brain development and function. With advanced NGS technology and expert genetic counselling, we help South African families navigate complex health challenges with confidence and care.
Understanding Your SLC25A1 Genetic Test
This specialised test examines the SLC25A1 gene, which plays a crucial role in mitochondrial function. When this gene has mutations, it can lead to Combined D-2- and L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria – a condition where specific organic acids accumulate in the body, potentially causing neurological damage and developmental delays.
Using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we analyse your DNA with exceptional precision to identify any genetic variations that might be affecting your health or your family’s wellbeing.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your child experience:
- Unexplained developmental delays or regression
- Neurological symptoms without clear cause
- Family history of metabolic disorders
- Abnormal organic acid levels in urine tests
- Seizures or movement disorders of unknown origin
- Progressive neurological deterioration
Early detection through genetic testing can guide appropriate treatment and management strategies, potentially improving long-term outcomes.
Why This Test Matters for Your Family’s Health
Getting definitive answers about genetic metabolic conditions provides multiple benefits:
- Early Intervention: Identify conditions before severe symptoms develop
- Personalised Treatment: Guide medical management based on genetic findings
- Family Planning: Understand inheritance patterns for future generations
- Peace of Mind: Replace uncertainty with clear understanding
- Prevent Complications: Implement strategies to minimise neurological damage
