Understanding Your Infant’s Development: ACO2 Gene Testing for Peace of Mind
When your baby’s vision and movement development doesn’t follow the expected path, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. As parents, you deserve clear answers and a compassionate medical team to guide you. Our ACO2 Gene Cerebellar-Retinal Degeneration test provides the definitive genetic insight you need to understand your child’s condition and plan for their future.
What This Test Reveals About Your Child’s Health
The ACO2 gene plays a crucial role in energy production within cells, particularly affecting the cerebellum (responsible for movement coordination) and retina (essential for vision). When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to progressive degeneration that typically appears in infancy. Our Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines every aspect of the ACO2 gene with 99.9% accuracy, providing you with reliable results you can trust for making informed healthcare decisions.
Is This Test Right for Your Child?
This genetic test is specifically designed for infants showing concerning symptoms that may indicate cerebellar-retinal degeneration. Consider testing if your child experiences:
- Delayed motor development or difficulty with coordination
- Progressive vision problems or abnormal eye movements
- Muscle weakness or poor muscle tone (hypotonia)
- Developmental regression in previously acquired skills
- Family history of similar neurological or vision conditions
Early detection through genetic testing can provide the clarity needed to access appropriate interventions and support services.
