Understanding Noonan Syndrome: Your Path to Clarity and Peace of Mind
When you notice unusual facial features, heart murmurs, or developmental delays in your child, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. As South African parents, you deserve clear answers about potential genetic conditions like Noonan Syndrome. Our PTPN11 gene test provides the definitive diagnosis you need to move forward with confidence and create the best possible care plan for your child’s unique needs.
What This Test Reveals About Your Child’s Health
The PTPN11 gene test uses Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify specific mutations that cause Noonan Syndrome Type 1. This isn’t just a simple screening – it’s a comprehensive analysis that examines the exact genetic variations responsible for the characteristic features and health challenges associated with this condition. By understanding the specific genetic cause, healthcare providers can tailor treatment and monitoring strategies specifically for your child.
Is This Test Right for Your Family?
Consider this test if your child shows:
- Unusual facial features (wide-set eyes, low-set ears, deep groove above upper lip)
- Heart murmurs or diagnosed congenital heart defects
- Short stature or growth delays compared to peers
- Developmental milestones being consistently missed

- Learning difficulties or mild intellectual disability
- Bleeding tendencies or easy bruising
Many South African families find relief in getting answers that explain their child’s unique developmental journey.
