Find Clarity About Hirschsprung Disease with NRG1 Gene Testing
When your child’s digestive health is at stake, every parent wants answers. Hirschsprung disease can be frightening, but understanding your genetic risk through our NRG1 Gene DNA test brings peace of mind and clear direction for your family’s health journey.
Understanding the NRG1 Gene Hirschsprung Disease Test
This advanced genetic test examines the NRG1 gene using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify mutations that may cause Hirschsprung disease. This condition affects the large intestine’s ability to move stool, and early detection through genetic testing can guide appropriate medical care and management strategies.
Our test provides comprehensive analysis with exceptional accuracy, giving you reliable information to discuss with your paediatrician and make informed healthcare decisions for your child.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important for:
- Newborns or infants with symptoms of intestinal obstruction or constipation
- Children with delayed passage of meconium after birth
- Families with a history of Hirschsprung disease
- Parents concerned about genetic risks for future pregnancies
- Individuals with unexplained digestive issues from childhood
If your child experiences abdominal swelling, vomiting, or feeding difficulties, this test can provide crucial diagnostic information.
