Find Clarity for Neurological Health Concerns with ALDH5A1 Genetic Testing
When your child shows developmental delays or unexplained neurological symptoms, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our ALDH5A1 genetic test provides the answers you need to understand succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency – a rare metabolic condition that affects brain function and development. With locations across Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, and Pretoria, we make advanced genetic testing accessible to South African families seeking clarity.
Understanding Your ALDH5A1 Genetic Test
This specialised Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) test examines the ALDH5A1 gene to identify mutations that cause succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency. This rare metabolic disorder disrupts the breakdown of certain brain chemicals, leading to neurological symptoms that often appear in early childhood. Our advanced technology provides comprehensive analysis with exceptional accuracy, giving you reliable results for informed healthcare decisions.

This test is particularly important if you or your child experience:
- Unexplained developmental delays in speech or motor skills
- Seizures or epilepsy that don’t respond well to standard treatments
- Movement disorders or coordination difficulties
- Intellectual disability or learning challenges
- Behavioural issues including hyperactivity or attention problems
- Family history of similar neurological conditions
Early detection through genetic testing can guide appropriate treatment and management strategies.
