Find Clarity About Hereditary Brain and Eye Conditions
When neurological symptoms or family history raise concerns about brain haemorrhage, calcification, or cataracts, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our JAM3 gene test provides the answers you need to make informed health decisions and protect your family’s future.
Understanding the JAM3 Gene Test
The JAM3 gene plays a crucial role in maintaining the blood-brain barrier and proper eye development. When mutations occur, they can lead to serious conditions including haemorrhagic destruction of the brain, subependymal calcification, and congenital cataracts. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your DNA with exceptional accuracy to identify these potentially life-altering mutations.
This isn’t just a test – it’s a comprehensive health assessment that includes professional genetic counselling to help you understand your results and their implications for your family.
Who Should Consider This Test?
- Individuals with family history of unexplained brain haemorrhages in infancy
- Parents concerned about developmental delays or neurological symptoms in their children
- Those with family members diagnosed with subependymal calcification
- Individuals with early-onset cataracts without clear cause
- Couples planning pregnancy with relevant family medical history
- Healthcare providers seeking definitive diagnosis for complex neurological cases
Early detection through genetic testing can provide crucial information for medical management and family planning decisions.
