Understanding Your Infant’s Neurological Health: NALCN Gene Testing
As a parent, noticing unusual neurological symptoms or facial features in your infant can be incredibly worrying. You want answers, clarity, and the best possible care for your child. Our NALCN Gene Neuroaxonal Neurodegeneration Test provides the definitive diagnosis you need to move forward with confidence and appropriate medical management.
What This Test Detects
The NALCN gene test specifically identifies mutations that cause infantile neuroaxonal neurodegeneration – a rare but serious neurological condition that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. Using advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we examine the NALCN gene for abnormalities that could explain your child’s symptoms. This isn’t just a test; it’s a pathway to understanding your child’s unique health needs.
Is This Test Right for Your Child?
This test is particularly important for infants showing:
- Delayed motor development or regression of skills
- Muscle weakness or poor muscle tone
- Unusual facial features that may suggest genetic concerns
- Seizures or abnormal movements
- Feeding difficulties or failure to thrive
- Family history of similar neurological conditions
If you’ve noticed any of these symptoms in your infant, early genetic testing can provide the clarity needed for proper medical management.
