Understanding 3-Methylglutaconic Aciduria Type 1: Your Path to Answers and Peace of Mind
When your child shows unexplained developmental delays, muscle weakness, or metabolic symptoms, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. As parents, you deserve clear answers and a path forward. Our AUH Gene 3-Methylglutaconic Aciduria Type 1 NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the definitive diagnosis you need to make informed healthcare decisions for your family.
What This Test Detects: Understanding the Science Behind Your Health
3-Methylglutaconic Aciduria Type 1 is a rare inherited metabolic disorder caused by mutations in the AUH gene. This condition affects the body’s ability to break down certain proteins properly, leading to the accumulation of toxic substances that can damage the nervous system and cause developmental problems.
Our advanced NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) technology examines your DNA with exceptional precision, identifying even the smallest genetic variations that could indicate this condition. Unlike basic genetic tests, our comprehensive analysis provides complete coverage of the AUH gene, ensuring no important information is missed.
