ST3GAL3 Gene Early Infantile Epileptic Encephalopathy Type 15 NGS Genetic DNA Test

Understanding Your Infant’s Seizures: Finding Answers Through Genetic Testing

When your baby experiences unexplained seizures in their first months of life, the fear and uncertainty can be overwhelming. Early infantile epileptic encephalopathy type 15 is a rare but serious genetic condition that affects brain development and causes severe seizures. Our ST3GAL3 gene test provides the clarity you need to understand what’s happening and take the right steps for your child’s care.

What This Test Detects

This advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) test specifically examines the ST3GAL3 gene for mutations that cause early infantile epileptic encephalopathy type 15. The ST3GAL3 gene plays a crucial role in brain development and function, and mutations can lead to severe neurological symptoms that typically appear in the first few months of life.

Who Should Consider This Test

This test is essential for infants showing:

• Unexplained seizures starting in early infancy
• Developmental delays or regression
• Abnormal muscle tone or movement patterns
• Family history of similar neurological conditions
• Multiple seizure types that are difficult to control

Why Early Detection Matters for Your Child’s Health

Getting an accurate diagnosis through genetic testing can be life-changing for your family. Early identification allows for:

• Targeted treatment approaches with neurologists
• Better seizure management strategies
• Early intervention services to support development
• Family planning guidance and genetic counselling
• Peace of mind knowing the exact cause of symptoms
