Finding Answers for Your Child’s Health Journey
When your child faces potential leukaemia, every moment counts and every question matters. We understand the overwhelming anxiety that comes with childhood cancer concerns. Our comprehensive Paediatric ALL Panel is designed specifically to give South African families the clarity and confidence they need to make informed decisions about their child’s treatment.
Understanding Your Child’s Genetic Blueprint
This advanced genetic panel combines three powerful techniques to provide a complete picture of your child’s leukaemia:
- Karyotyping: Examines the overall structure and number of chromosomes to identify major genetic abnormalities
- MLPA Deletion/Duplication Analysis: Detects specific missing or extra pieces of genetic material that can affect treatment response
- FISH Panel: Uses fluorescent probes to pinpoint specific genetic changes at the molecular level
Together, these tests provide your medical team with the detailed genetic information needed to create the most effective treatment plan for your child.
When This Test Provides Critical Answers
This comprehensive testing is essential when:
- Your child has been diagnosed with or is suspected of having acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL)
- Standard blood tests show abnormal white blood cell counts or immature cells
- Your child experiences unexplained fatigue, frequent infections, bruising, or bone pain
- Your healthcare team needs genetic information to guide treatment decisions
- Monitoring treatment response or detecting relapse
Early and accurate genetic information can significantly impact your child’s treatment success and long-term outcomes.
Why Genetic Clarity Matters for Your Child’s Recovery
Getting the right genetic information early can:
- Guide Targeted Treatment: Identify which therapies will work best for your child’s specific genetic profile
- Predict Treatment Response: Understand how your child might respond to different chemotherapy options
- Determine Risk Level: Classify your child’s leukaemia as standard, intermediate, or high risk
- Monitor Treatment Progress: Track how well the treatment is working at the genetic level
- Provide Peace of Mind: Give you and your family confidence in the treatment path chosen
