Protecting Your Baby’s Future: COX15 Gene Cardioencephalomyopathy Testing
As parents, we understand the deep concern you feel when facing potential genetic conditions that could affect your baby’s heart and brain development. The COX15 Gene Cardioencephalomyopathy Fatal Infantile test represents a crucial step toward understanding and managing these rare but serious conditions. Our compassionate approach ensures you receive not just accurate results, but the support and guidance you need during this challenging time.
Understanding the COX15 Gene Test
This advanced genetic test specifically examines the COX15 gene for mutations that can cause cytochrome c oxidase deficiency type 2 – a condition that affects energy production in heart and brain cells. Using cutting-edge Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we provide comprehensive analysis with exceptional accuracy. The test requires either a blood sample, extracted DNA, or a simple blood spot on an FTA card, making the process accessible and straightforward for families across South Africa.
