Understanding Your Child’s Brain Development: AKT3 Gene MPPH Syndrome Testing
When you notice unusual symptoms in your child’s development, it’s natural to feel concerned and seek answers. Our AKT3 Gene Megalencephaly-Polymicrogyria-Polydactyly-Hydrocephalus (MPPH) Syndrome Type 2 test provides the clarity you need to understand these complex neurological conditions. We know how overwhelming this journey can be for South African families, which is why we’ve created a testing process that prioritises your peace of mind and your child’s wellbeing.
What This Test Detects
The AKT3 gene plays a crucial role in brain development and cell growth regulation. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to MPPH Syndrome Type 2 – a complex condition characterised by:
- Megalencephaly (enlarged brain)
- Polymicrogyria (abnormal brain folding)
- Polydactyly (extra fingers or toes)
- Hydrocephalus (fluid buildup in the brain)
Our advanced NGS technology examines the AKT3 gene with exceptional accuracy, identifying even subtle mutations that might be missed by conventional testing methods.
Is This Test Right for Your Child?
This test is particularly important if your child shows any of these symptoms:
- Unusually large head circumference
- Developmental delays or regression
- Seizures or epilepsy
- Extra fingers or toes
- Motor skill challenges
- Family history of similar neurological conditions
- Abnormal brain imaging results
Many South African families have found answers through this testing, helping them access appropriate support and management strategies.
