Find Answers for Your Child’s Eye Movement Concerns
When your child struggles with unusual eye movements or vision coordination, it can be worrying and confusing. Our SALL4 Gene Duane Retraction Syndrome NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity you need to understand the genetic basis of these symptoms and take proactive steps for your child’s vision health.
Understanding the SALL4 Gene Test
This advanced genetic test uses Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to examine the SALL4 gene, which plays a crucial role in eye development and movement coordination. When mutations occur in this gene, they can cause Duane Retraction Syndrome – a condition where eye muscles don’t develop properly, leading to limited eye movement and potential vision complications.
Our test provides precise detection of these genetic variations, giving you and your healthcare provider the information needed to create the most effective treatment plan for your child.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if your child shows any of these symptoms:
- Limited ability to move one or both eyes outward or inward
- Eyes that appear to retract into the socket when looking sideways
- Narrowing of the eye opening when attempting certain eye movements
- Head tilting to compensate for eye movement limitations
- Family history of similar eye movement disorders
- Unexplained vision coordination problems in childhood
Early genetic testing can help prevent long-term vision complications and provide valuable information for managing your child’s condition effectively.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Child’s Vision
Getting a definitive genetic diagnosis offers multiple benefits for your child’s health journey:
- Accurate Diagnosis: Confirm whether Duane Retraction Syndrome is present and identify the specific genetic cause
- Personalised Treatment: Enable healthcare providers to create targeted treatment plans based on genetic findings
- Family Planning Insights: Understand inheritance patterns for future family planning decisions
- Peace of Mind: Reduce uncertainty and anxiety by knowing the exact nature of your child’s condition
