Understanding Your Child’s Health: MEIS2 Gene Testing for Cleft Palate, Heart Defects and Developmental Concerns
As a parent, nothing matters more than your child’s health and development. When you notice developmental delays, or your family has a history of cleft palate or heart conditions, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our MEIS2 Gene Test provides the clarity and answers you need to make informed decisions about your child’s care and future.
What Does the MEIS2 Gene Test Detect?
The MEIS2 gene plays a crucial role in early development, particularly in forming the roof of the mouth (palate), heart structures, and brain development. When variations occur in this gene, it can lead to a combination of conditions including cleft palate, congenital heart defects, and developmental delays. Our advanced Next Generation Sequencing technology examines this gene with exceptional accuracy, identifying even subtle variations that might be missed by other testing methods.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if your child or family member shows:
- Cleft lip or palate at birth
- Congenital heart defects diagnosed in infancy
- Developmental delays or intellectual disability
- Multiple family members with similar conditions
- Unexplained developmental concerns despite normal newborn screening
Many South African families find this test provides the missing piece in understanding their child’s health journey.
