Find Answers for Your Child’s Health Concerns with COG4 Gene Testing
When your child shows developmental delays, neurological symptoms, or unexplained health issues, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. The COG4 Gene Glycosylation Disorder Type 2J NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity South African families need to understand these complex conditions and make informed healthcare decisions.
Understanding the COG4 Gene Test
This advanced genetic test examines the COG4 gene using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology – the gold standard in genetic analysis. The COG4 gene plays a crucial role in glycosylation, the process that adds sugar molecules to proteins. When this gene has mutations, it can lead to Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation Type 2J, affecting multiple body systems including neurological development and organ function.
Our testing process is designed with your family’s comfort in mind, requiring only a simple blood sample or DNA extraction that can be collected at our nationwide facilities in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, and Pretoria.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important for families who notice:
- Unexplained developmental delays in infants or children
- Neurological symptoms including seizures or coordination difficulties
- Failure to thrive or growth concerns
- Family history of similar symptoms across generations
- Multiple unexplained health issues affecting different body systems
Early detection through genetic testing can provide crucial information for managing your child’s health and planning appropriate interventions.
