Find Answers for Unexplained Neurological Symptoms with GFM1 Gene Testing
When your child experiences developmental delays, muscle weakness, or neurological symptoms without clear cause, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our GFM1 Gene Test provides the clarity South African families need to understand and manage Combined Oxidative Phosphorylation Deficiency Type 1 – a serious mitochondrial disorder that affects how your body produces energy.
Understanding the GFM1 Gene Test
This advanced genetic test examines your GFM1 gene using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify mutations that cause Combined Oxidative Phosphorylation Deficiency Type 1. Think of it as reading your genetic blueprint to find the specific instructions that might be causing energy production problems in your cells. The test is completely safe and requires only a simple blood sample or DNA extraction.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your child experience:
- Unexplained developmental delays in infancy or childhood
- Progressive neurological symptoms that worsen over time
- Muscle weakness or poor muscle tone
- Feeding difficulties in infants
- Family history of similar neurological conditions
- Multiple unexplained medical symptoms affecting different body systems
Many South African families have found answers through this testing when traditional medical approaches couldn’t provide clear diagnoses.
