Understanding Your Infant’s Neurological Health Journey
As a parent, watching your infant struggle with unexplained seizures or developmental delays can be heartbreaking and overwhelming. The uncertainty and fear that comes with not knowing the cause of your child’s neurological symptoms can feel isolating. At Oracle Genomics, we understand this emotional journey and provide the clarity you need through our specialised CUX2 Gene Early Infantile Epileptic Encephalopathy Type 67 NGS Genetic DNA Test.
What This Test Detects
This advanced genetic test specifically identifies mutations in the CUX2 gene, which are responsible for Early Infantile Epileptic Encephalopathy Type 67. This rare but serious condition typically appears in the first months of life and is characterised by difficult-to-control seizures, developmental regression, and significant neurological challenges. By using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we can accurately detect even the most subtle genetic variations that might be missed by conventional testing methods.
Who Should Consider This Test
This test is particularly important for infants showing:
- Unexplained seizures in the first year of life
- Developmental delays or regression
- Abnormal EEG patterns
- Family history of early-onset epilepsy
- Resistance to standard anti-epileptic medications
- Multiple seizure types that are difficult to classify
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Child’s Health
Receiving an accurate diagnosis through genetic testing can be life-changing for your family. Early identification of CUX2-related epilepsy allows for:
- Targeted treatment approaches that may be more effective
- Better management of seizure episodes
- Early intervention services to support development
- Family planning guidance and genetic counselling
- Connection to specialised care and support networks
- Peace of mind through definitive answers
