Finding Answers for Your Child’s Developmental Journey
When your child faces developmental challenges or unusual physical features, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. We understand the sleepless nights and the desperate search for answers. Our ACTB Gene Baraitser-Winter Syndrome Type 1 test provides the clarity and certainty South African families need to move forward with confidence.
Understanding Your Genetic Test
This specialised DNA test examines the ACTB gene using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology – the gold standard in genetic testing. Baraitser-Winter Syndrome Type 1 is a rare genetic condition that affects brain development, causing intellectual disability, distinctive facial features, and sometimes eye abnormalities. By analysing this specific gene, we can provide definitive answers about whether your child carries the genetic changes associated with this condition.
Is This Test Right for Your Family?
This test is particularly important if your child shows:
- Developmental delays or intellectual disability
- Unusual facial features (wide-set eyes, high forehead)
- Eye abnormalities or vision problems
- Muscle weakness or coordination difficulties
- Family history of similar developmental conditions
Many South African parents find peace of mind through early diagnosis, allowing for better planning and appropriate support services.

Getting a clear diagnosis provides numerous benefits:
- Personalised Care Planning: Understand exactly what support your child needs
