Find Clarity About Batten Disease with Our CLN3 Gene Test
When neurological conditions run in families, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our CLN3 Gene Ceroid Lipofuscinosis Neuronal Type 3 NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the answers you need to make informed decisions about your family’s health future. For just ZAR 6,700, gain peace of mind through advanced genetic testing available nationwide.
Understanding the CLN3 Gene Test
The CLN3 gene test examines your DNA for mutations that cause Batten disease, also known as neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 3. This progressive neurological disorder typically begins in childhood and affects vision, motor skills, and cognitive function. Our test uses Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, the gold standard in genetic analysis, to provide highly accurate results you can trust.
Unlike basic genetic tests, our comprehensive approach examines the entire CLN3 gene, ensuring no mutation goes undetected. This thorough analysis gives you and your healthcare provider the complete picture needed for proper diagnosis and management.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your child experience:
- Progressive vision loss starting in childhood
- Developmental delays or regression in motor skills
- Seizures or epilepsy that began in early childhood
- Speech difficulties or cognitive decline
- Family history of Batten disease or similar neurological conditions
If you’re planning a family and have relatives affected by Batten disease, this test can provide crucial information for family planning decisions.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Family’s Health
Early diagnosis of Batten disease through genetic testing offers significant benefits:
- Informed Medical Management: Early intervention can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life
- Family Planning Confidence: Understand inheritance patterns to make informed reproductive decisions
- Reduced Diagnostic Uncertainty: End the diagnostic odyssey and get clear answers
- Access to Support Services: Connect with appropriate medical specialists and support networks
- Peace of Mind: Replace uncertainty with knowledge and a clear path forward
Understanding Your Test Results
We understand that waiting for genetic test results can be anxiety-provoking. Our process is designed to provide clarity and support:
Positive Result: If a CLN3 mutation is detected, our genetic counsellors will explain what this means for you and your family, discuss management options, and connect you with appropriate specialists.
Negative Result: If no mutations are found, this can provide significant relief and help rule out Batten disease as a cause of symptoms.
Variant of Uncertain Significance: Sometimes, we find genetic changes whose significance isn’t yet known. In these cases, we’ll provide ongoing monitoring and updates as research advances.
Every result includes a comprehensive consultation with our genetic counselling team to ensure you fully understand the implications.
