Find Clarity About Alpha-Ketoglutarate Dehydrogenase Deficiency
When unexplained neurological symptoms disrupt your life or your child’s development, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our OGDH Gene Alpha-Ketoglutarate Dehydrogenase Deficiency NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the definitive answers you need to move forward with confidence and appropriate care.
Understanding Your Test: Clear Answers for Complex Conditions
Alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase deficiency is a rare metabolic disorder that affects how your body processes energy. When the OGDH gene isn’t working properly, it can lead to serious neurological symptoms that often appear in infancy or early childhood. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your DNA with incredible precision, identifying even the smallest genetic variations that could be causing your symptoms.
This isn’t just another test – it’s a pathway to understanding. By pinpointing the exact genetic cause, we help you and your healthcare team develop targeted treatment strategies that address the root of the problem, not just the symptoms.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test could be life-changing if you or your child experience:
- Unexplained developmental delays or regression
- Recurrent seizures that don’t respond to standard treatments
- Muscle weakness or poor muscle tone (hypotonia)
- Feeding difficulties in infancy
- Family history of similar neurological conditions
- Abnormal movements or coordination problems
- Progressive neurological decline
Many families spend years searching for answers while symptoms persist. Our test can provide the clarity needed to stop the diagnostic odyssey and start effective management.
