Understanding Your Child’s Growth: XRCC4 Genetic Testing for Peace of Mind
As a parent, watching your child grow and develop is one of life’s greatest joys. But when growth patterns seem different, or developmental milestones aren’t being met, the worry can be overwhelming. You’re not alone in these concerns, and getting clear answers is the first step toward providing the best care for your child.
Our XRCC4 Gene Test offers the clarity you need, using cutting-edge Next Generation Sequencing technology to identify genetic factors affecting growth and endocrine function. We understand the emotional journey you’re on, and we’re here to provide the accurate information and support you deserve.
What This Test Detects: Clear Answers for Complex Concerns
The XRCC4 gene plays a crucial role in DNA repair and cellular development. When mutations occur in this gene, they can lead to a rare genetic condition characterized by:
- Short stature – Height significantly below average for age and gender
- Microcephaly – Smaller than average head circumference
- Endocrine dysfunction – Hormonal imbalances affecting growth and development
Our test doesn’t just identify the presence of mutations – it provides specific information about the type and location of genetic changes, giving healthcare providers the detailed insights needed for personalized care planning.
Is This Test Right for Your Child?
This test may be recommended if your child shows:
- Consistently measuring below growth chart percentiles
- Head circumference smaller than expected for age
- Delayed developmental milestones
- Unexplained growth delays despite normal nutrition
- Family history of similar growth patterns
- Endocrine concerns identified by your paediatrician
Many parents find relief in getting definitive answers rather than living with uncertainty. Knowing the genetic basis of these conditions can help guide appropriate interventions and management strategies.

Getting a clear diagnosis through genetic testing provides numerous benefits:
- Personalized Care Planning: Results help healthcare providers create targeted treatment approaches
- Early Intervention: Identify needs for growth hormone therapy or other treatments sooner
