Find Answers for Unexplained Neurological Symptoms with ABAT Gene Testing
When your child struggles with developmental delays, seizures, or unexplained neurological symptoms, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our ABAT Gene GABA-Transaminase Deficiency Test provides the clarity you need to understand these complex health challenges and take proactive steps toward better management and treatment.
Understanding Your ABAT Gene Test
The ABAT gene plays a crucial role in brain function by regulating GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), your brain’s main calming neurotransmitter. When this gene doesn’t function properly, it can lead to GABA-transaminase deficiency – a rare but serious condition that affects neurological development and function.
Our Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your ABAT gene with exceptional accuracy, identifying mutations that could be causing neurological symptoms in you or your child.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Unexplained seizures or epilepsy that doesn’t respond to standard treatments
- Developmental delays in childhood milestones
- Intellectual disability or learning difficulties
- Movement disorders or coordination problems
- Family history of similar neurological conditions
- Unexplained encephalopathy (brain dysfunction)
Early detection through genetic testing can provide crucial information for managing symptoms and improving quality of life.
