Protect Your Family’s Future: MT-TV Gene Leigh Syndrome Genetic Testing
As parents, the thought of losing a child to an undiagnosed genetic condition is every family’s worst nightmare. Leigh syndrome, caused by MT-TV gene mutations, can lead to devastating neonatal outcomes. At Oracle Genomics, we understand this profound concern and offer advanced genetic testing to provide the answers and peace of mind South African families deserve.
Understanding the MT-TV Gene Leigh Syndrome Test
This specialised genetic test uses cutting-edge Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to examine the MT-TV gene for mutations that cause Leigh syndrome – a severe neurological disorder that affects infants and can lead to neonatal death. Unlike traditional testing methods, NGS provides comprehensive analysis with exceptional accuracy, giving you reliable results you can trust for making important family health decisions.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important for families experiencing:
- Previous neonatal deaths with unexplained neurological symptoms
- Family history of Leigh syndrome or mitochondrial disorders
- Unexplained infant neurological deterioration
- Planning pregnancy with known family genetic risks
- Multiple miscarriages or infant losses in the family
If you’re concerned about your family’s genetic health history, this test provides the clarity needed for informed family planning.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Family
Knowing your genetic status empowers you to:
- Make informed reproductive decisions with genetic counselling support
- Access appropriate prenatal testing and monitoring
- Prepare for potential medical needs in advance
- Reduce anxiety through knowledge and proactive planning
