Find Clarity for Your Child’s Muscle Health Concerns
When your child shows signs of muscle weakness or developmental delays, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. We understand the anxiety South African parents feel when searching for answers about their child’s health. Our Congenital Myopathy Gene Panel provides the definitive diagnosis you need to move forward with confidence and create the best possible care plan for your family.
Understanding Congenital Myopathy Genetic Testing
Congenital myopathies are inherited muscle disorders that affect muscle tone and strength from birth or early childhood. Our comprehensive gene panel uses Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze multiple genes simultaneously, providing a complete picture of your child’s genetic makeup. This isn’t just a test – it’s a pathway to understanding your child’s unique health needs and creating targeted treatment strategies.
With 99.9% accuracy and results delivered within 4-6 weeks, you’ll have the reliable information needed to make informed healthcare decisions for your family.
Is This Test Right for Your Child?
Many South African families struggle with unexplained symptoms that affect their child’s daily life. Consider this test if your child experiences:
- Persistent muscle weakness or low muscle tone (hypotonia)
- Delayed motor milestones (sitting, crawling, walking)
- Feeding difficulties or weak cry in infancy
- Respiratory challenges or frequent respiratory infections
- Family history of muscle disorders or unexplained childhood disabilities
- Unexplained fatigue or exercise intolerance
Early diagnosis can significantly improve quality of life and help prevent complications through proper management and care.
