Our MYBPC1 gene test provides the definitive answers South African families need to make informed decisions about their health journey. Using cutting-edge NGS technology, we deliver 99.9% accurate results that bring peace of mind during what can be an anxious time.
Understanding Your MYBPC1 Genetic Test
The MYBPC1 gene test examines specific genetic mutations that cause lethal congenital contracture syndrome type 4 – a serious condition affecting newborn muscle development and joint mobility. This isn’t just another genetic test; it’s a comprehensive analysis using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, the gold standard in genetic diagnostics. We’re looking for changes in the MYBPC1 gene that could impact your family’s future generations.

This test is particularly important for:
- Couples with a family history of lethal congenital contracture syndrome

If you’re planning to start a family and have concerns about genetic conditions, this test provides the clarity you deserve.
