Find Answers for Unexplained Seizures and Developmental Concerns
When your child experiences seizures that don’t respond to standard treatments, or shows developmental delays that worry you, finding the right answers becomes your top priority. Our GRIN2A Gene Epilepsy Test offers the clarity you need to understand these complex neurological conditions and make informed decisions about treatment and care.
Understanding Your GRIN2A Epilepsy Test
The GRIN2A gene plays a crucial role in brain development and function. When mutations occur in this gene, they can lead to epilepsy syndromes that often include neurodevelopmental challenges. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing technology examines this gene with exceptional accuracy, identifying specific mutations that may be causing seizures and developmental concerns.
This isn’t just another test – it’s a comprehensive diagnostic approach that includes professional genetic counselling to map your family’s health history and provide personalised guidance throughout the testing process.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your child experiences:
- Unexplained seizures that began in childhood
- Epilepsy that doesn’t respond well to standard medications
- Developmental delays in speech, motor skills, or learning
- Intellectual disability alongside seizure activity
- Family history of epilepsy or neurodevelopmental disorders
- Multiple seizure types that have been difficult to classify
Many families spend years searching for answers – our test can provide the genetic clarity needed to move forward with confidence.
