Find Answers for Hydrops, Lactic Acidosis & Sideroblastic Anaemia
When your family faces unexplained health challenges like hydrops, persistent lactic acidosis, or sideroblastic anaemia, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. You deserve clear answers and a path forward. Our LARS2 gene test provides the definitive genetic insights you need to understand these complex conditions and make informed healthcare decisions for your family’s future.
Understanding the LARS2 Genetic Test
This advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) test examines the LARS2 gene for mutations that can disrupt mitochondrial function, leading to serious health conditions. When the LARS2 gene doesn’t function properly, it can cause:
- Hydrops (fluid accumulation in tissues)
- Lactic acidosis (dangerous acid buildup in blood)
- Sideroblastic anaemia (iron-loading anaemia)
Our test provides comprehensive analysis using the most advanced genetic technology available, giving you and your healthcare team the precise information needed for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Unexplained fluid accumulation (hydrops) in pregnancy or infancy
- Persistent lactic acidosis without clear cause
- Anaemia that doesn’t respond to standard treatments
- Family history of mitochondrial disorders
- Multiple affected family members with similar symptoms
- Unexplained developmental delays with metabolic symptoms
Early genetic testing can provide crucial information for managing these conditions and preventing complications.
Why This Test Matters for Your Family’s Health
Getting the right diagnosis early can make a profound difference in health outcomes:
- Accurate Diagnosis: Move from uncertainty to clear understanding
- Personalised Treatment: Guide specific therapies for lactic acidosis and anaemia
- Family Planning: Understand inheritance patterns for future pregnancies
- Prevent Complications: Early intervention for better long-term health
- Peace of Mind: Replace worry with knowledge and a clear action plan
Understanding Your Results
We make genetic results clear and actionable:
- Positive Result: Identifies specific LARS2 mutations – your healthcare team can develop targeted management strategies
- Negative Result: Rules out LARS2-related disorders – helping focus on other potential causes
- Variant of Uncertain Significance: Rare findings that require further evaluation – we provide complete guidance
Every result includes comprehensive genetic counselling to ensure you fully understand the implications and next steps.
