Understanding RETT Syndrome: Your Path to Clarity and Peace of Mind
When you notice your child experiencing developmental delays or unusual hand movements, it’s natural to feel concerned and seek answers. Our RETT Syndrome deletion and duplication detection test provides the clarity South African families need to make informed healthcare decisions. We understand the emotional journey you’re facing, and we’re here to support you with accurate, reliable genetic testing.
What This Test Detects: Clear Answers for Your Family
This specialised genetic test examines the MECP2 gene for specific deletions and duplications associated with RETT Syndrome. Using advanced MLPA (Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification) technology, we provide precise analysis that helps identify genetic variations that may affect your child’s neurological development. The test requires only a small blood sample, making it straightforward and minimally invasive for your child.
Is This Test Right for Your Child?
Consider this test if your child shows:
- Loss of purposeful hand skills between 6-18 months
- Developmental regression or slowed development
- Repetitive hand movements (hand wringing, washing, clapping)

- Breathing irregularities during wakefulness
- Slowed head growth in infancy
Early testing can provide crucial information for managing your child’s health journey effectively.
