Understanding Your Child’s Development: CEP63 Gene Microcephaly DNA Testing
As parents, we understand the deep concern that comes with developmental questions about your child. When you notice that your baby’s head size is smaller than expected or developmental milestones seem delayed, it’s natural to seek answers. Our CEP63 Gene Microcephaly NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity and peace of mind South African families deserve.
What This Test Detects
The CEP63 gene plays a crucial role in brain development during pregnancy. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to microcephaly – a condition where a baby’s head is significantly smaller than expected. Our advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your DNA to identify any variations in the CEP63 gene that might affect your child’s development.
This isn’t just a test – it’s a pathway to understanding. By identifying the genetic factors at play, we help you and your healthcare team create the best possible care plan for your child.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important for families who have noticed:
- Your baby’s head circumference measuring significantly below average
- Developmental delays in sitting, crawling, or walking
- Intellectual disability or learning challenges
- A family history of microcephaly or developmental disorders
- Previous children with similar developmental patterns
If you’re planning another pregnancy and have concerns based on family history, this test can provide valuable information for future family planning decisions.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Family
Getting answers early can transform your child’s developmental journey. With a clear diagnosis:
- You can access targeted early intervention programmes
- Your healthcare team can create personalised development plans
