Understanding Leigh Syndrome & Mitochondrial Encephalopathy: Your Path to Clarity
When your child shows concerning neurological symptoms or developmental delays, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our Leigh Syndrome Mitochondrial Encephalopathy Gene Panel offers the clarity and answers you need during this challenging time. This comprehensive genetic test provides definitive insights into mitochondrial disorders that affect brain development and function.
What This Test Reveals About Your Health
This advanced genetic panel examines multiple genes associated with Leigh Syndrome and mitochondrial encephalopathies – serious conditions that impact energy production in cells, particularly affecting the brain and nervous system. Using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we identify specific genetic mutations that could be causing neurological symptoms in you or your child.
The test is designed to detect abnormalities in mitochondrial DNA and nuclear genes that regulate energy metabolism, providing crucial information for diagnosis and management strategies.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important for individuals experiencing:
- Unexplained neurological symptoms in infancy or childhood
- Developmental regression or loss of milestones
- Muscle weakness, movement disorders, or coordination problems
- Vision or hearing problems without clear cause
- Family history of mitochondrial disorders
- Unexplained metabolic abnormalities
- Progressive neurological deterioration
If your child has been showing concerning symptoms that doctors haven’t been able to explain, this test could provide the answers you’ve been searching for.
