Find Clarity for Your Child’s Brain and Vision Development
When your child faces developmental challenges with brain structure or vision, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. We understand the emotional journey South African parents experience when seeking answers about polymicrogyria and optic nerve hypoplasia. Our TUBA8 gene test provides the definitive clarity you need to make informed healthcare decisions for your child’s future.
Understanding the TUBA8 Gene Test
The TUBA8 gene plays a crucial role in brain development and optic nerve formation. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to polymicrogyria (abnormal brain folding) and optic nerve hypoplasia (underdeveloped optic nerves). Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your child’s DNA with exceptional accuracy, identifying these specific genetic variations that traditional tests might miss.
This isn’t just another genetic test – it’s a comprehensive analysis that gives you and your healthcare team the precise information needed to create the best possible care plan for your child.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is specifically designed for children and families experiencing:
- Developmental delays or neurological symptoms
- Vision problems or diagnosed optic nerve issues
- Abnormal brain imaging showing polymicrogyria
- Family history of similar neurological conditions
- Unexplained seizures or motor coordination difficulties
- Multiple family members with brain or vision abnormalities
If you’ve been searching for answers about your child’s development, this test could provide the breakthrough information you need.
