Find Clarity for Neurological Health Concerns
When you’re worried about developmental delays or neurological symptoms in your child or family member, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our GM1 Gangliosidosis Quantitative Blood Test provides the answers you need with compassion and medical expertise. For just ZAR 700, gain peace of mind through accurate genetic testing that could change your family’s health journey.
Understanding Your GM1 Gangliosidosis Test
GM1 Gangliosidosis is a rare genetic disorder that affects how the body processes certain fats, leading to progressive neurological damage. Our quantitative blood test measures the activity of the beta-galactosidase enzyme – when this enzyme doesn’t work properly, it can indicate GM1 Gangliosidosis. Think of it as checking your body’s “recycling system” for specific fats that, when not processed correctly, can affect brain and nerve function.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your child experience:
- Unexplained developmental delays in infancy or childhood
- Progressive loss of motor skills or coordination
- Muscle weakness or stiffness that seems to be worsening
- Vision problems or cherry-red spots in the eyes
- Family history of similar neurological conditions
- Unexplained seizures or movement disorders
Many South African families find reassurance through early testing, allowing for better planning and management of care.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Family’s Health
Getting tested early can provide:
- Peace of mind – eliminate uncertainty about symptoms
- Early intervention opportunities – access appropriate care sooner
- Family planning insights – understand genetic risks for future children
- Better symptom management – work with specialists to address specific needs
- Reduced anxiety – replace worry with a clear action plan
Understanding Your Test Results
Your results will show the activity level of the beta-galactosidase enzyme in your blood. Our medical team will explain what these numbers mean in simple terms:
- Normal results provide reassurance that GM1 Gangliosidosis is unlikely
- Abnormal results will be carefully explained with next steps and specialist referrals
