Finding Answers for Your Child’s Health Journey
When you notice unusual feeding patterns, developmental delays, or other concerning symptoms in your child, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. At Oracle Genomics, we understand the emotional weight of genetic concerns and provide the clarity you need through our specialised Prader-Willi Syndrome testing.
Understanding the Prader-Willi Syndrome Test
Our advanced methylation-specific PCR test detects genetic abnormalities associated with Prader-Willi Syndrome, a rare condition that affects appetite, growth, and cognitive development. This isn’t just a test – it’s a pathway to understanding your child’s unique needs and creating the best possible care plan.
The test examines specific genetic markers to provide definitive answers, giving you the information needed to make informed decisions about your child’s healthcare journey.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if your child shows:
- Poor feeding and failure to thrive in infancy
- Excessive hunger and rapid weight gain in early childhood
- Developmental delays in sitting, crawling, or walking

- Family history of genetic conditions
Early detection can significantly improve quality of life by enabling timely interventions and specialised care.
