Understanding Your Child’s Genetic Health: SMARCE1 Gene Testing for Coffin-Siris Syndrome
When you notice developmental concerns in your child, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our SMARCE1 gene test provides the clarity and answers South African families need to understand Coffin-Siris syndrome risks and make informed healthcare decisions for their children’s future.
What This Test Detects
The SMARCE1 gene test uses advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyse the SMARCE1 gene for mutations associated with Coffin-Siris syndrome. This comprehensive DNA analysis examines your genetic material to identify specific changes that could affect your child’s development and health outcomes.
Unlike basic genetic screenings, our NGS approach provides detailed, accurate results that help medical professionals understand the specific genetic factors at play, enabling personalised care plans and early intervention strategies.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important for families who notice:
- Developmental delays in motor skills or speech
- Intellectual disability or learning challenges
- Distinctive facial features (such as thick eyebrows, wide mouth, or full lips)
- Growth abnormalities or short stature
- Family history of similar developmental concerns
- Skeletal abnormalities or joint issues
If your child exhibits any combination of these symptoms, or if there’s a family history of developmental disorders, this test can provide crucial answers about their genetic health.
Why Early Genetic Testing Matters for Your Family
Getting the right diagnosis early can transform your child’s healthcare journey. With accurate SMARCE1 gene testing, you can:
- Access targeted interventions and therapies sooner
- Understand your child’s specific needs and capabilities
- Make informed decisions about educational support
- Plan for future healthcare requirements
- Reduce uncertainty and anxiety about your child’s development
- Connect with appropriate support networks and resources
Early detection means earlier support, better outcomes, and peace of mind for your entire family.
Understanding Your Test Results
We understand that waiting for genetic test results can be stressful. Our process is designed to provide clarity and support:
Results Timeline: 3-4 weeks from sample collection
Sample Options: Blood sample, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on FTA card
Your results will clearly indicate whether SMARCE1 gene mutations were detected, and our genetic counselling team will help you understand what this means for your child’s health. We provide detailed explanations in plain language, ensuring you feel confident and informed about next steps.
Remember: A positive result doesn’t define your child’s potential – it provides information to help them thrive with the right support.
