Finding Answers for Complex Neuromuscular Conditions
When your child shows signs of joint stiffness or muscle weakness, the search for answers can feel overwhelming. At Oracle Genomics, we understand the emotional journey families face when dealing with rare conditions like arthrogryposis and congenital myasthenic syndromes. Our comprehensive genetic panel provides the clarity and certainty you need to make informed healthcare decisions for your loved ones.
Understanding Your Genetic Test
This advanced genetic panel examines multiple genes associated with arthrogryposis (multiple joint contractures present at birth) and congenital myasthenic syndromes (inherited neuromuscular disorders affecting muscle strength). Using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we provide highly accurate results that can confirm or rule out these complex conditions.
The test analyses genetic markers that affect muscle development, nerve-muscle communication, and joint formation, giving you and your healthcare provider valuable insights into the underlying causes of symptoms.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important for:
- Infants or children with multiple joint contractures present at birth
- Individuals experiencing unexplained muscle weakness or fatigue
- Families with a history of neuromuscular disorders
- Parents planning future pregnancies when there’s family history of these conditions
- Individuals with feeding difficulties, breathing problems, or delayed motor milestones
Early genetic testing can provide critical information for treatment planning and management strategies.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Family’s Health
Getting a definitive diagnosis through genetic testing offers numerous benefits:
- Personalised Treatment Plans: Accurate diagnosis guides targeted therapies and interventions
- Family Planning Guidance: Understand inheritance patterns for future pregnancies
- Reduced Diagnostic Uncertainty: End the cycle of multiple specialist visits and tests
- Early Intervention Opportunities: Access appropriate therapies and support services sooner
- Peace of Mind: Replace uncertainty with clear understanding and actionable information
