Find Answers for Your Child’s Developmental Challenges
When your child faces developmental delays, microcephaly, or progressive seizures, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. We understand the sleepless nights and the constant worry about what the future holds. Our QARS1 Gene NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity South African families need to understand these complex neurological conditions and make informed decisions about their child’s care.
Understanding the QARS1 Gene Test
This advanced genetic test examines the QARS1 gene using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology – the gold standard in genetic testing. The QARS1 gene plays a crucial role in brain development, and mutations can lead to microcephaly (small head size), progressive seizures, and cerebral-cerebellar atrophy (brain tissue loss). Our test provides definitive answers about whether these specific genetic mutations are present, giving you the information needed to plan appropriate care and treatment.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is essential for families experiencing:
- Infants or children with unusually small head circumference (microcephaly)
- Progressive seizure disorders that worsen over time
- Developmental delays in motor skills, speech, or cognitive abilities
- Family history of similar neurological conditions
- Unexplained cerebral or cerebellar atrophy on brain scans
- Multiple family members affected by similar symptoms
If you’ve noticed these symptoms in your child, early genetic testing can provide crucial insights for their healthcare journey.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Child’s Health
Getting answers through genetic testing transforms uncertainty into actionable information. With a definitive diagnosis:
- You can access targeted treatments and interventions sooner
- Healthcare providers can create personalized care plans
- Families can connect with appropriate support networks
