Understanding Your Child’s Neurological Health: PI4KA Gene Testing
When your child faces developmental challenges, movement difficulties, or neurological symptoms, finding answers becomes your top priority. The uncertainty can be overwhelming, but you’re not alone. Our PI4KA Gene NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity South African families need to understand complex neurological conditions and make informed healthcare decisions.
What This Test Detects
The PI4KA gene plays a crucial role in brain development and neurological function. This comprehensive test identifies mutations that can cause:
- Polymicrogyria: Abnormal brain surface development affecting cognitive and motor functions
- Cerebellar Hypoplasia: Underdevelopment of the cerebellum, impacting coordination and balance
- Arthrogryposis: Joint contractures and movement limitations present from birth
Using advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we analyse the PI4KA gene with exceptional accuracy, giving you reliable results you can trust for your family’s healthcare decisions.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if your child experiences:
- Developmental delays in motor skills or speech
- Muscle weakness or joint stiffness
- Coordination difficulties or balance problems
- Seizures or neurological symptoms
- Family history of similar neurological conditions
- Abnormal brain imaging results
Early detection through genetic testing can help guide appropriate therapies, educational support, and medical management strategies.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Child’s Future
Getting answers through genetic testing provides numerous benefits:
- Personalised Treatment Plans: Results guide targeted interventions and therapies
- Family Planning Insights: Understand inheritance patterns for future family decisions
