Find Clarity About Maple Syrup Urine Disease Type 1A
When you’re worried about metabolic conditions running in your family, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. Our BCKDHA Gene Maple Syrup Urine Disease Type 1A NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the definitive answers you need to protect your family’s health and future.
Understanding Your BCKDHA Genetic Test
Maple Syrup Urine Disease Type 1A is a rare but serious inherited metabolic disorder that affects how your body processes certain amino acids. Our advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines the BCKDHA gene with 99.9% accuracy, identifying mutations that could lead to this condition.
This isn’t just a test – it’s your pathway to proactive health management and peace of mind for your entire family.

This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
