Find Clarity About Walker-Warburg Syndrome in Your Family
When neurological conditions run in families, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Many South African parents worry about whether their children might inherit Walker-Warburg syndrome – a rare but serious condition affecting brain and muscle development. Our FKTN Gene DNA test provides the answers you need to make informed decisions about your family’s health future.
Understanding Your FKTN Gene Test
Walker-Warburg syndrome is caused by changes in the FKTN gene, which plays a crucial role in proper brain and muscle development. Our advanced NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology examines your FKTN gene with precision, identifying even the smallest genetic variations that could indicate Walker-Warburg syndrome risk.
This isn’t just another test – it’s a comprehensive genetic analysis that gives you and your healthcare providers the information needed to plan for the best possible health outcomes.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Family history of Walker-Warburg syndrome or similar neurological conditions
- Unexplained developmental delays in children
- Muscle weakness or eye abnormalities in multiple family members
- Planning pregnancy with known family genetic risks
- Previous children with congenital muscular dystrophy
Many South African families discover they carry genetic variations without showing symptoms, making testing crucial for informed family planning.

Knowing your genetic status provides powerful advantages:
- Peace of Mind: Eliminate uncertainty about inherited risks
- Informed Decisions: Make confident choices about family planning
