Protect Your Family’s Heart Health with TAZ Gene Barth Syndrome Testing
If you’re worried about inherited heart conditions in your family, you’re not alone. Many South African families carry genetic risks they don’t even know about. The TAZ Gene Barth Syndrome test gives you the clarity and peace of mind you deserve, helping you protect your loved ones from serious heart complications.
Understanding TAZ Gene Barth Syndrome Testing
Barth syndrome is a rare genetic condition that primarily affects males and can cause serious heart problems, muscle weakness, and growth delays. Our advanced NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) technology examines the TAZ gene with exceptional accuracy, identifying mutations that could impact your family’s heart health for generations.
This isn’t just another test – it’s a comprehensive genetic assessment that includes professional genetic counselling to map your family’s health history and provide personalised guidance.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is especially important if you or your family members experience:
- Unexplained heart muscle weakness (cardiomyopathy) in male children
- Family history of early-onset heart conditions
- Muscle weakness or delayed motor skills in young boys
- Recurrent infections or low white blood cell counts
- Growth delays despite normal nutrition
- Previous unexplained infant deaths in the family
Early detection through genetic testing can be life-changing, allowing for proactive management and treatment planning.
