Find Answers for Metabolic Health Concerns with LIAS Gene Testing
When your child shows unexplained developmental delays, neurological symptoms, or metabolic issues, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our LIAS Gene Deficiency Test provides the clarity you need to understand these complex health challenges and take proactive steps toward better management.
Understanding the LIAS Gene Deficiency Test
The LIAS gene plays a crucial role in producing energy within your body’s cells. When this gene doesn’t function properly, it can lead to pyruvate dehydrogenase lipoic acid synthetase deficiency – a rare metabolic disorder that affects how your body converts food into energy. Our advanced NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology examines your DNA to identify any mutations in the LIAS gene, providing precise information about your genetic makeup.
This isn’t just a test – it’s a pathway to understanding your body’s unique metabolic processes and identifying potential health risks before they become serious problems.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your child experience:
- Unexplained developmental delays in infancy or childhood
- Neurological symptoms such as seizures or movement disorders
- Metabolic acidosis or other metabolic abnormalities
- Family history of similar metabolic conditions
- Failure to thrive or growth concerns in children
- Unexplained fatigue or energy production issues
Early detection through genetic testing can make a significant difference in managing symptoms and improving quality of life.
Why This Test Matters for Your Family’s Health
Getting tested for LIAS gene deficiency offers multiple important benefits:
- Early Intervention: Identify metabolic issues before they cause significant health problems
