Understanding Your Family’s Health: SCN2A Gene Testing for Infantile Convulsions
As a parent, nothing is more frightening than watching your infant experience convulsions. If your family has a history of seizures in babies, you deserve clear answers and peace of mind. Our SCN2A Gene Test provides the medical clarity you need to understand your child’s genetic risk and take proactive steps for their health.
What Does This Test Detect?
The SCN2A Gene Test uses advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify mutations in the SCN2A gene that cause benign familial infantile convulsions type 3. This condition typically appears in otherwise healthy infants between 3-12 months and can run in families. By detecting these genetic changes early, we can help you understand your child’s risk and work with neurologists to create the best care plan.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if:
- Your infant has experienced unexplained convulsions or seizures
- There’s a family history of infantile seizures or convulsions
- You’re planning a pregnancy and want to understand genetic risks
- Your child has developmental delays alongside seizure activity
- You want peace of mind about your family’s genetic health
