Find Answers for Epileptic Encephalopathy with MAPK10 Gene Testing
When your child or loved one faces the challenges of severe epilepsy or Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our MAPK10 Gene Epileptic Encephalopathy test provides the clarity you need to make informed healthcare decisions. For South African families in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, and Pretoria, this advanced genetic testing offers hope and direction.
Understanding the MAPK10 Gene Test
The MAPK10 gene plays a crucial role in brain development and function. When mutations occur in this gene, they can lead to epileptic encephalopathy, particularly Lennox-Gastaut syndrome – a severe form of childhood epilepsy. Our test uses Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, the gold standard in genetic testing, to accurately identify these mutations.
This isn’t just another test – it’s a comprehensive diagnostic approach that includes genetic counselling to help you understand your family’s specific situation and create a meaningful healthcare strategy.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your child experiences:
- Multiple types of seizures that are difficult to control with medication
- Developmental delays or regression following seizure onset
- Abnormal EEG patterns characteristic of Lennox-Gastaut syndrome

- Unexplained developmental challenges in early childhood
Early genetic diagnosis can significantly impact treatment outcomes and quality of life.
