Find Clarity for Your Child’s Health Journey
When your child shows concerning symptoms or there’s a family history of genetic disorders, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. The Sphingolipidosis Panel 3 Test provides the answers South African families need to make informed healthcare decisions with confidence and peace of mind.
Understanding the Sphingolipidosis Panel 3 Test
This comprehensive genetic screening test detects three specific inherited metabolic disorders that affect how your body processes fats. Using advanced enzyme assay technology, we analyse specific enzyme levels to identify:
- GM1 Gangliosidosis: A progressive neurological disorder affecting brain development
- Gaucher Disease: A condition where fatty substances build up in organs
- Niemann Pick Disease: A disorder affecting the body’s ability to metabolise cholesterol
Our testing process is designed to be straightforward and reliable, providing accurate results you can trust for your family’s health decisions.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if your child or family member shows:
- Developmental delays or regression in milestones
- Neurological symptoms like seizures or muscle weakness
- Enlarged liver or spleen
- Family history of genetic metabolic disorders
- Unexplained organ enlargement or bone pain
- Vision or hearing problems in early childhood
Many South African families have found answers through this testing when traditional diagnoses were unclear.
