Find Answers for Unexplained Metabolic Symptoms with ACSF3 Gene Testing
When your child or family member experiences unexplained developmental delays, feeding difficulties, or metabolic symptoms, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. The ACSF3 Gene Combined Malonic and Methylmalonic Aciduria NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity South African families need to understand and manage these complex metabolic conditions.
Understanding Your ACSF3 Gene Test
This advanced genetic test examines the ACSF3 gene using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify mutations that cause combined malonic and methylmalonic aciduria. This rare metabolic disorder affects how your body processes certain proteins and fats, leading to the buildup of harmful acids that can damage organs and affect development.
Our testing process begins with comprehensive genetic counselling, where we create a detailed family history to understand your specific risk factors and provide personalised guidance throughout your testing journey.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important for individuals and families experiencing:
- Unexplained developmental delays in infants or children
- Recurrent metabolic crises or acidosis episodes
- Feeding difficulties and failure to thrive in infancy
- Family history of metabolic disorders or unexplained infant deaths
- Neurological symptoms without clear diagnosis
- Planning pregnancy with family history of metabolic conditions
If you’re in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, or anywhere in South Africa and suspect metabolic issues in your family, this test can provide life-changing answers.

Early diagnosis through ACSF3 gene testing enables:
- Prevention of serious complications through early intervention and dietary management
- Personalised treatment plans tailored to your specific genetic makeup
