Understanding Your Risk for Senior-Loken Syndrome Type 7
When kidney and vision problems run in your family, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. The SDCCAG8 Gene Test provides the clarity you need to understand your genetic risk for Senior-Loken Syndrome type 7 – a rare inherited condition affecting both kidneys and eyes. Our compassionate approach ensures you receive not just results, but understanding and support throughout your genetic journey.
What This Test Reveals About Your Health
The SDCCAG8 gene test uses advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to examine your DNA for mutations in the SDCCAG8 gene. This gene plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy kidney function and retinal development. When mutations occur, they can lead to Senior-Loken Syndrome type 7 – a condition characterised by progressive kidney disease and retinal degeneration that often begins in childhood.
Our test doesn’t just identify if you carry the mutation; it provides detailed information about the specific genetic changes, helping your healthcare team develop personalised monitoring and management strategies.
Is This Test Right for You or Your Family?
Consider the SDCCAG8 gene test if you or your family members experience:
- Unexplained kidney problems or renal failure in childhood or early adulthood
- Progressive vision loss or retinal degeneration
- Family history of both kidney and eye conditions
- Planning for pregnancy with known family history of Senior-Loken Syndrome
- Unexplained developmental delays with kidney involvement
Many South African families find peace of mind through genetic testing, especially when multiple relatives show similar symptoms across generations.
