Find Clarity About Bardet-Biedl Syndrome with Our BBS2 Gene Test
When you’re worried about unexplained symptoms affecting your vision, weight, or development, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our BBS2 Gene Test provides the definitive answers you need to understand your genetic risks and take control of your health journey. For families across South Africa facing the challenges of Bardet-Biedl syndrome, this test offers hope, clarity, and a path forward.
Understanding the BBS2 Gene Test
The BBS2 Gene Test uses cutting-edge Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to examine the BBS2 gene, which plays a crucial role in cellular function. When this gene contains mutations, it can lead to Bardet-Biedl syndrome – a rare genetic condition that affects multiple body systems. Our test provides comprehensive analysis with exceptional accuracy, giving you reliable results you can trust for making important health decisions.

This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Progressive vision loss or retinal degeneration starting in childhood
- Unexplained obesity or difficulty managing weight
- Developmental delays or learning difficulties

- Family history of similar symptoms across generations
Early detection through genetic testing can help you access appropriate care and support services sooner.
