Understanding Your Child’s Growth and Vision Concerns
When you notice your child isn’t growing as expected or shows vision difficulties, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our NBAS Gene Test provides the clarity you need, offering definitive answers about genetic conditions affecting growth and vision that often remain undiagnosed for years.
What This Test Reveals About Your Child’s Health
This advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) test specifically examines the NBAS gene for mutations associated with three interconnected conditions:
- Short Stature: Understanding the genetic basis behind growth delays
- Optic Nerve Atrophy: Identifying genetic factors affecting vision development
- Pelger-Huet Anomaly: Detecting blood cell abnormalities with genetic origins
By pinpointing the exact genetic cause, we move beyond symptoms to provide targeted insights for your child’s healthcare journey.
Is This Test Right for Your Child?
Consider this test if your child experiences:
- Consistent growth below expected percentiles for age
- Vision difficulties or abnormal eye examinations
- Unexplained developmental delays
- Family history of similar growth or vision conditions
- Blood test abnormalities suggesting Pelger-Huet anomaly
- Multiple specialists without clear diagnosis
Many families spend years seeking answers – our test provides the genetic clarity needed for targeted care.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Child’s Future
Getting answers early can significantly impact your child’s development and quality of life:
- Targeted Interventions: Develop specific growth and vision support plans
- Prevent Vision Loss: Early detection may help preserve remaining vision
- Reduce Uncertainty: End the diagnostic odyssey and focus on solutions
- Family Planning: Understand inheritance patterns for future children
