Find Clarity for Your Child’s Craniosynostosis Concerns
When you notice unusual skull shape development or facial features in your child, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our TWIST1 Gene Saethre-Chotzen Syndrome test provides the definitive answers you need to understand your child’s genetic condition and plan the right care pathway.
Understanding the TWIST1 Gene Test
This advanced genetic test examines the TWIST1 gene using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify mutations that cause Saethre-Chotzen syndrome. This condition affects skull bone development, leading to craniosynostosis (premature fusion of skull bones) and distinctive facial features. Our test provides 99.9% accuracy in detecting these genetic variations, giving you reliable information for medical decision-making.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is recommended if your child shows:
- Unusual skull shape or premature fusion of skull bones
- Distinctive facial features including droopy eyelids
- Family history of craniosynostosis or genetic syndromes
- Developmental delays alongside physical symptoms
- Concerns about inherited genetic conditions
Early testing can help prevent complications and guide appropriate interventions.
Why This Test Matters for Your Child’s Health
Getting a definitive diagnosis through genetic testing provides multiple benefits:
- Early Intervention: Identify the condition before complications develop
- Treatment Planning: Guide surgical and medical management decisions
- Family Planning: Understand inheritance patterns for future children
- Peace of Mind: Replace uncertainty with clear understanding
- Improved Outcomes: Early detection leads to better quality of life
Understanding Your Test Results
Our comprehensive genetic counselling session helps you understand your results clearly:
- Positive Result: Confirms Saethre-Chotzen syndrome diagnosis, enabling targeted care
- Negative Result: Rules out TWIST1 gene mutations, directing investigation elsewhere
- Variant of Unknown Significance: Rare findings that require ongoing monitoring
Our genetic counsellors explain results in simple terms and provide guidance for next steps.
