Understanding MRE11 Gene Microcephaly: Your Path to Answers and Peace of Mind
When you notice developmental concerns in your child, especially related to head size or neurological development, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our MRE11 Gene Microcephaly MRE11A Related NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity you need to understand your child’s genetic makeup and make informed healthcare decisions.
What This Test Detects
The MRE11 gene plays a crucial role in DNA repair and maintaining genetic stability. Mutations in the MRE11A gene can lead to microcephaly – a condition where a baby’s head is significantly smaller than expected. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines the MRE11 gene with exceptional accuracy, identifying specific mutations that may be affecting your child’s development.
Who Should Consider This Test
This test is particularly important if your child shows:
- Significantly smaller head circumference than peers
- Developmental delays in motor skills or speech
- Intellectual disability concerns
- Family history of microcephaly or neurological conditions
- Unexplained developmental regression
Early detection through genetic testing can help guide appropriate interventions and support services.
