Find Answers for Your Child’s Neurological Health
When your child faces developmental challenges, seizures, or unusual brain growth, every parent deserves clear answers and a path forward. Our STRADA Gene NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the definitive diagnosis you need to understand and manage complex neurological conditions affecting South African children.
Understanding the STRADA Gene Test
This advanced genetic test uses Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to examine the STRADA gene, which plays a crucial role in brain development and function. When this gene has mutations, it can lead to a specific combination of conditions including:
- Polyhydramnios: Excess amniotic fluid during pregnancy
- Megalencephaly: Abnormal brain enlargement
- Symptomatic Epilepsy: Seizure disorders with identifiable causes
Our test provides the clarity needed to develop targeted treatment plans and understand your child’s unique neurological profile.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important for South African families when:
- Your child experiences developmental delays or regression
- Seizures or epilepsy symptoms appear without clear cause
- Brain imaging shows unusual growth patterns
- There’s a family history of neurological conditions
- Your pregnancy was complicated by excess amniotic fluid
- Your child has macrocephaly (large head circumference)
Early detection through genetic testing can significantly improve management strategies and quality of life.
