Understanding Your Family’s Genetic Health Journey
When developmental concerns or intellectual disabilities appear in your family, the search for answers can feel overwhelming. Our ARID1A Gene Mental Retardation Autosomal Dominant Type 14 NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity and understanding you need to make informed decisions about your family’s health future.
What This Test Reveals About Your Genetic Health
The ARID1A gene plays a crucial role in brain development and function. When mutations occur in this gene, they can lead to autosomal dominant mental retardation type 14 – a condition characterised by intellectual disability that follows a specific inheritance pattern. Our advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your DNA with exceptional accuracy, identifying even subtle genetic variations that could impact cognitive development.
This isn’t just a test – it’s a comprehensive health assessment that includes genetic counselling to map your family’s health history, helping you understand how conditions may be passed through generations.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Screening?
This test is particularly important for families experiencing:
- Unexplained intellectual disability or developmental delays in children
- Family history of learning difficulties across multiple generations
- Concerns about passing genetic conditions to future children
- Diagnostic uncertainty about the cause of cognitive challenges
- Planning for pregnancy with known family history of mental retardation
If you’ve noticed developmental milestones being missed or learning challenges that seem to run in your family, this test can provide the answers you’ve been seeking.
