KMT2C Gene Developmental Delay NGS Genetic DNA Test
Comprehensive Genetic Testing for Developmental Disorders
The KMT2C Gene Developmental Delay NGS Genetic DNA Test represents a breakthrough in neurological genetic diagnostics, offering unparalleled precision in identifying genetic factors contributing to developmental delays and cognitive impairments. This advanced testing methodology provides crucial insights for families and healthcare providers navigating complex neurological conditions.
What is the KMT2C Gene and Its Role in Development?
The KMT2C gene encodes a histone methyltransferase enzyme that plays a fundamental role in regulating gene expression during brain development. This gene is essential for proper neuronal differentiation, synaptic formation, and cognitive function development. Mutations in the KMT2C gene can disrupt these critical processes, leading to various neurodevelopmental challenges.
What Does This Test Detect?
Our comprehensive NGS-based genetic test specifically targets:
- Point mutations and single nucleotide variants in the KMT2C gene
- Small insertions and deletions affecting gene function
- Copy number variations impacting KMT2C expression
- Regulatory region mutations affecting gene regulation
- Pathogenic variants associated with Kleefstra syndrome spectrum disorders
Advanced NGS Technology
Utilizing state-of-the-art Next-Generation Sequencing technology, our test provides comprehensive coverage of the entire KMT2C gene with exceptional accuracy (99.9%) and sensitivity. This advanced approach ensures no significant genetic variations are missed, providing complete diagnostic confidence.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This genetic test is particularly recommended for individuals presenting with:
- Unexplained developmental delays in childhood
- Intellectual disability of unknown origin
- Speech and language development delays
- Motor skill development concerns
- Autism spectrum disorder features
- Behavioral challenges and social interaction difficulties
- Family history of neurodevelopmental disorders
- Multiple congenital anomalies with developmental concerns
Clinical Indications
Healthcare providers typically recommend this test when patients exhibit:
- Delayed achievement of developmental milestones
- Persistent learning difficulties despite intervention
- Complex neurological presentations without clear diagnosis
- Family history suggesting genetic inheritance patterns
- Features overlapping with known KMT2C-related disorders
Benefits of KMT2C Genetic Testing

- Personalized Treatment Plans: Enables targeted interventions and therapies
- Prognostic Information: Helps understand potential developmental trajectories
- Family Planning Guidance: Provides recurrence risk information for future pregnancies
- Early Intervention Opportunities: Facilitates timely therapeutic interventions
- Educational Planning: Supports appropriate educational accommodations
- Reduced Medical Costs: Avoids unnecessary diagnostic procedures and tests
Comprehensive Genetic Counseling
Every test includes pre-test genetic counseling to ensure informed decision-making and post-test counseling to help interpret results and understand implications for the entire family.
Understanding Your Test Results
Result Interpretation Guidelines
Our comprehensive result report provides clear interpretation of findings:
Positive Result
A positive result indicates the presence of a pathogenic variant in the KMT2C gene that is likely responsible for the developmental concerns. This confirmation enables:
- Targeted medical management strategies
- Appropriate therapeutic interventions
- Family member testing recommendations
- Connection with support communities
Negative Result
A negative result suggests that KMT2C gene mutations are not the cause of the developmental concerns, allowing healthcare providers to explore other potential genetic or environmental factors.
Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)
In some cases, the test may identify genetic changes whose clinical significance is currently unknown. Our genetic counselors provide guidance on monitoring and potential future testing options.
Clinical Correlation
All results are interpreted in the context of clinical presentation and family history, ensuring comprehensive understanding of their medical significance.
