Understanding Your Child’s Bone Development: PEX5 Gene Testing for RCDP Type 5
When you notice unusual growth patterns or bone development concerns in your child, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our PEX5 Gene Rhizomelic Chondrodysplasia Punctata Type 5 NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity South African families need to understand these complex genetic conditions. We understand the anxiety that comes with watching your child’s development and are here to provide accurate, compassionate answers.
What This Test Detects
The PEX5 gene test uses advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify mutations in the PEX5 gene that cause Rhizomelic Chondrodysplasia Punctata type 5. This rare genetic disorder affects how your child’s bones develop, particularly in the upper arms and thighs. Our test provides definitive answers about whether your child carries these specific genetic variations, giving you the information needed for proper medical management.

This test is particularly important for families who notice:
- Shortened upper arms and thighs in infants or young children
- Unusual bone development patterns
- Family history of similar growth concerns
- Previous children with bone development issues
