Find Clarity for Your Child’s Health Journey
When you notice developmental concerns in your child, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our SMC3 Gene Cornelia de Lange Syndrome Type 3 test provides the answers you need to move forward with confidence and appropriate care planning.
Understanding the SMC3 Gene Test
This advanced genetic test examines the SMC3 gene using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, the gold standard in genetic analysis. The test specifically looks for mutations associated with Cornelia de Lange Syndrome Type 3, a rare genetic condition that affects multiple body systems and development.
Unlike basic genetic tests, our NGS approach provides comprehensive analysis with exceptional accuracy, giving you reliable results you can trust for making important healthcare decisions.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if your child shows:
- Developmental delays or intellectual disability
- Distinctive facial features (arched eyebrows, long eyelashes)
- Growth retardation before and after birth
- Upper limb abnormalities
- Gastrointestinal issues
- Behavioural characteristics associated with the syndrome
If there’s a family history of Cornelia de Lange Syndrome or similar developmental conditions, genetic testing becomes even more crucial for early intervention and management.
Why Early Diagnosis Matters for Your Family
Getting a definitive diagnosis provides multiple life-changing benefits:
- Peace of Mind: End the uncertainty and know exactly what you’re dealing with
- Early Intervention: Access appropriate therapies and support services sooner
- Family Planning: Understand genetic risks for future pregnancies
- Personalised Care: Develop targeted treatment plans based on specific genetic findings
