Understanding ARX Gene Lissencephaly: Your Path to Clarity and Peace of Mind
When you’re concerned about your child’s brain development and neurological health, every moment counts. The ARX Gene Lissencephaly X-linked Type 2 NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the definitive answers South African families need to navigate complex genetic conditions with confidence and clarity.
What This Test Reveals About Your Child’s Health
The ARX gene plays a crucial role in brain development, and mutations in this gene can lead to lissencephaly – a condition where the brain’s surface appears smooth rather than having the normal folds and grooves. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines the ARX gene with exceptional accuracy, identifying specific mutations that cause X-linked lissencephaly type 2.
This isn’t just a test; it’s a comprehensive diagnostic journey that includes genetic counselling to understand your family’s unique medical history and create a detailed pedigree chart of affected family members.
Is This Test Right for Your Family?
This test is particularly important for families experiencing:
- Delayed developmental milestones in infants and young children
- Seizures or epilepsy that began in early childhood
- Abnormal brain development detected through imaging
- Family history of X-linked genetic disorders
- Unexplained neurological symptoms in male children
- Previous children with developmental delays or brain abnormalities
If you’ve noticed developmental concerns or have a family history of similar conditions, this test provides the clarity you need to make informed healthcare decisions.
