Understanding Your Family’s Hydrocephalus Risk
When hydrocephalus runs in your family, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. We understand the deep concern you feel about your children’s future health and the difficult decisions around family planning. Our CCDC88C gene test provides the clarity you need to move forward with confidence.
What This Test Reveals About Your Health
This specialised genetic test examines the CCDC88C gene for mutations that cause nonsyndromic autosomal recessive hydrocephalus type 1. Using advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we can identify specific genetic changes that may be passed through families, helping you understand your risk of having children affected by this condition.
Who Should Consider This Important Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Family history of hydrocephalus without other symptoms
- Planning pregnancy with known family risk factors
- Previous child with unexplained hydrocephalus
- Consanguineous marriage with neurological concerns
- Unexplained infant head enlargement in family history
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Family’s Future
Knowing your genetic status empowers you to make informed decisions about family planning and healthcare. Early detection through genetic testing can:
- Guide reproductive choices with accurate risk information
- Enable early intervention if needed
- Reduce anxiety through definitive answers
- Provide peace of mind for future family planning
- Connect you with appropriate specialist care

We know waiting for genetic results can be stressful. Our team provides clear, compassionate explanations of your results, whether they show carrier status, affected status, or no mutations detected.
