Take Control of Your Family’s Genetic Health with Phenylketonuria DNA Testing
As a parent or prospective parent in South Africa, the thought of your child inheriting a genetic condition can be overwhelming. Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a serious inherited disorder that, if undetected, can lead to permanent intellectual disability and developmental delays. But here’s the reassuring truth: early detection through our PAH Gene Phenylketonuria NGS Genetic DNA Test can completely change this outcome, giving your child the healthy start they deserve.
Understanding Phenylketonuria and How Our Test Works
Phenylketonuria is an inherited metabolic disorder where the body cannot properly process phenylalanine, an amino acid found in many foods. When phenylalanine builds up in the blood, it becomes toxic to the brain, causing irreversible damage. Our advanced NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) technology examines the PAH gene with 99.9% accuracy, identifying the specific genetic mutations that cause PKU. This isn’t just a test – it’s your family’s first line of defence against preventable developmental challenges.
Who Should Consider This Important Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important for:
- Couples planning pregnancy with a family history of PKU or unexplained developmental delays
- Parents of children showing developmental delays, musty body odour, or fair skin and blue eyes (common PKU characteristics)
- Individuals with relatives diagnosed with PKU or related metabolic disorders
- South African families concerned about inherited conditions and wanting peace of mind
Early detection means your child can start a special diet immediately, preventing the neurological damage that makes PKU so devastating.
