Find Answers for Your Child’s Bone Health Concerns
Watching your child struggle with bone pain, delayed walking, or unusual bone growth can be heartbreaking. When standard vitamin D treatments don’t work, it’s natural to feel frustrated and concerned. Our CYP27B1 Gene Rickets Vitamin D Dependent Type 1 NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity you need to understand your child’s condition and access targeted treatment options.
Understanding the CYP27B1 Rickets Genetic Test
This advanced genetic test uses Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to examine the CYP27B1 gene, which plays a crucial role in converting vitamin D into its active form. When this gene has mutations, the body cannot properly utilise vitamin D, leading to rickets symptoms despite adequate vitamin D intake. Our test provides definitive answers about whether your child has this specific genetic form of rickets.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if your child shows:
- Delayed walking or difficulty walking
- Bone pain or tenderness
- Bowed legs or knock knees
- Widened wrists or ankles
- Delayed tooth development
- Muscle weakness
- Failure to thrive despite adequate nutrition
- Family history of similar bone conditions
If standard vitamin D supplementation hasn’t resolved these symptoms, genetic testing can provide the answers you need.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Child’s Future
Getting an accurate diagnosis through genetic testing offers significant benefits:
- Targeted Treatment: Confirming CYP27B1 mutations allows for specific treatment with active vitamin D metabolites
- Prevent Permanent Damage: Early intervention can prevent irreversible bone deformities
