Understanding ALG13 Gene Glycosylation Disorder: Your Path to Clarity
When your child faces unexplained developmental delays or neurological symptoms, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our ALG13 Gene Glycosylation Disorder Type 1S test provides the answers you need to make informed decisions about your family’s health journey. Using cutting-edge Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we deliver accurate results that bring peace of mind and clear direction.
What This Test Detects
The ALG13 gene plays a crucial role in glycosylation – the process of adding sugar molecules to proteins. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation Type 1S, affecting multiple body systems including neurological development, growth, and organ function. Our test specifically identifies these genetic variations, providing definitive diagnosis for complex symptoms that often puzzle healthcare providers.
Who Should Consider This Test
This test is essential for families experiencing:
- Unexplained developmental delays in infants and children
- Neurological symptoms including seizures or coordination difficulties
- Failure to thrive or growth concerns
- Family history of metabolic disorders
- Multiple unexplained health issues affecting different body systems
- Previous inconclusive medical testing results
If your child’s symptoms have been difficult to diagnose, this targeted genetic test can provide the missing piece to your healthcare puzzle.
