Understanding Your Child’s Digestive Health Concerns
As a parent, watching your child struggle with feeding difficulties, poor weight gain, or digestive issues can be incredibly worrying. When conventional treatments don’t provide answers, genetic testing for congenital short-bowel syndrome offers hope and clarity. At Oracle Genomics, we understand the emotional journey families face and provide compassionate, accurate genetic testing to help you understand your child’s health challenges.
What Does This Test Detect?
Our CLMP Gene Congenital Short-Bowel Syndrome NGS Genetic DNA Test specifically analyses the CLMP gene using advanced Next Generation Sequencing technology. This gene plays a crucial role in intestinal development, and mutations can lead to congenital short-bowel syndrome – a condition where infants are born with an abnormally short small intestine, causing severe nutritional absorption problems.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important for:
- Infants experiencing persistent feeding difficulties and failure to thrive
- Children with unexplained chronic diarrhoea and malnutrition
- Babies requiring prolonged parenteral nutrition support
- Families with a history of intestinal abnormalities or digestive disorders
- Parents concerned about their child’s growth and development patterns
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Child’s Health
Early diagnosis through genetic testing provides numerous benefits:
- Personalised Treatment Planning: Knowing the genetic cause allows for tailored nutritional and medical management
- Prevention of Complications: Early intervention can prevent severe malnutrition and developmental delays
- Family Planning Guidance: Understanding inheritance patterns helps with future family planning decisions
- Peace of Mind: Eliminating uncertainty reduces parental stress and anxiety
- Improved Quality of Life: Proper management leads to better growth and development outcomes
Understanding Your Test Results
We make understanding genetic results simple and reassuring. Our comprehensive report includes:
- Clear explanation of CLMP gene findings in easy-to-understand language
- Detailed interpretation of how results relate to your child’s symptoms
- Personalised recommendations for medical management and nutritional support
- Access to genetic counselling to discuss results and next steps
- Ongoing support for implementing recommended care plans
