Find Clarity About Bardet-Biedl Syndrome in Your Family
When you’re worried about genetic conditions affecting your loved ones, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. Our BBS4 Gene Test provides the definitive answers you need to understand your family’s genetic health and plan for the future with confidence.
Understanding the BBS4 Gene Test
The BBS4 Gene Test uses advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyse the BBS4 gene, which plays a crucial role in preventing Bardet-Biedl Syndrome. This comprehensive genetic screening gives you clear, accurate results about whether you or your family members carry genetic variations associated with this condition.
Bardet-Biedl Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that can affect multiple body systems, including vision, weight regulation, kidney function, and development. Early detection through genetic testing allows for proactive management and better health outcomes.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Progressive vision loss or retinal degeneration starting in childhood
- Early-onset obesity or difficulty managing weight
- Kidney abnormalities or urinary tract issues
- Learning difficulties or developmental delays
- Extra fingers or toes (polydactyly)
- Family history of Bardet-Biedl Syndrome or similar symptoms
If you’re planning a family and have concerns about genetic conditions, this test provides valuable information for making informed reproductive decisions.
