Understanding Fanconi-Bickel Syndrome: Your Path to Genetic Clarity
When your child shows unexplained symptoms like growth delays, liver enlargement, or metabolic issues, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. As parents, you deserve clear answers about your child’s health. Our SLC2A2 Gene Fanconi-Bickel Syndrome NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the definitive diagnosis you need to move forward with confidence and appropriate care planning.
What This Test Detects: Understanding the SLC2A2 Gene
This advanced genetic test specifically examines the SLC2A2 gene, which provides instructions for making the GLUT2 protein. This protein plays a crucial role in transporting glucose and galactose across cell membranes. When mutations occur in this gene, it leads to Fanconi-Bickel syndrome – a rare inherited disorder that affects how your body processes these essential sugars.
Using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we can identify even the smallest genetic variations with exceptional accuracy, giving you reliable results you can trust for making important healthcare decisions.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if your child or family member shows:
- Unexplained growth failure or short stature
- Enlarged liver (hepatomegaly) without clear cause
- Kidney problems affecting glucose and phosphate handling
- Rickets or bone development issues
- Hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) episodes
- Galactose intolerance symptoms
- Family history of similar metabolic disorders
If you’ve been searching for answers to these challenging symptoms, this test can provide the clarity needed to develop an effective management plan.
