GBA Gene Gaucher Disease Perinatal Lethal NGS Genetic DNA Test
We understand the deep concern that comes with the possibility of perinatal lethal Gaucher disease in your family. This rare genetic condition can be overwhelming to consider, but knowledge is your most powerful tool. Our advanced genetic testing provides the clarity and certainty you need to make informed decisions about your family’s health future.
Understanding Your GBA Gene Test
This specialised test examines the GBA gene using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, the most advanced method available for detecting genetic mutations. The GBA gene produces an enzyme called glucocerebrosidase, and mutations in this gene can lead to Gaucher disease. The perinatal lethal form is the most severe type, affecting newborns and requiring immediate medical attention.
Our testing process is designed to be comprehensive yet straightforward. We analyse your DNA sample for specific mutations that could indicate the presence of this condition, giving you accurate results you can trust for making important healthcare decisions.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important for:
- Couples with a family history of Gaucher disease planning to start a family
- Parents who have lost a child to perinatal complications with unknown causes
- Individuals from families with known GBA gene mutations
- Couples from ethnic backgrounds with higher incidence of Gaucher disease
- Those experiencing recurrent pregnancy losses with unexplained causes
If you’re concerned about passing genetic conditions to your children, this test provides the answers you need for peace of mind.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Family’s Health
