Finding Answers for Your Child’s Growth Concerns
When your child faces unexplained growth delays or developmental challenges, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. The ORC1 Gene Meier-Gorlin Syndrome Type 1 NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity and answers South African families need to move forward with confidence. At Oracle Genomics, we understand the emotional journey of seeking genetic answers, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Understanding the ORC1 Gene Test
The ORC1 gene plays a vital role in your body’s ability to replicate DNA properly during cell division. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to Meier-Gorlin Syndrome Type 1 – a rare genetic condition characterized by distinctive physical features and growth challenges. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your child’s ORC1 gene with exceptional precision, identifying even the smallest genetic variations that might be affecting their development.
This isn’t just another test – it’s a comprehensive diagnostic journey that includes professional genetic counselling to help you understand how this condition may run in your family and what it means for your child’s future.
Is This Test Right for Your Child?
This test is specifically designed for children and families experiencing:
- Unexplained growth delays or failure to thrive
- Distinctive facial features including small ears or jaw
- Developmental milestones not being met as expected
- Family history of similar growth patterns
- Concerns about rare genetic syndromes affecting development
If you’ve noticed these patterns in your child or have family members with similar characteristics, this test can provide the answers you’ve been searching for.
