Find Clarity for Your Child’s Growth Journey
As a parent, watching your child grow is one of life’s greatest joys. When growth patterns cause concern, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our Maternal UPD Chromosome 7 Silver-Russell Syndrome NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the definitive answers South African families need to understand their child’s unique growth journey and access the right support.
Understanding Your Genetic Test
This advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) test specifically examines chromosome 7 for maternal uniparental disomy (UPD) – a genetic condition where a child inherits both copies of chromosome 7 from the mother instead of one from each parent. This sophisticated analysis provides the most accurate diagnosis available for Silver-Russell Syndrome, giving you confidence in your child’s care plan.
Is This Test Right for Your Child?
Many South African parents find this test valuable when their child shows:
- Significant growth restriction before and after birth
- Distinctive facial features (triangular face, prominent forehead)
- Feeding difficulties in infancy
- Body asymmetry or limb length differences
- Delayed bone age development
- Family history of growth disorders
Early diagnosis can make a profound difference in your child’s development and quality of life.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Family
Receiving a clear diagnosis empowers you to:
- Access targeted growth hormone therapy and nutritional support
- Connect with specialist paediatric care across South Africa
- Understand your child’s unique developmental timeline
- Make informed decisions about their education and social development
- Plan for any future medical needs with confidence
- Reduce uncertainty and anxiety about your child’s health
