Developmental delay gene testing requires:
3 mL blood sample
US laboratory testing
Report in about 3 to 4 weeks
Available at Mong Kok or Wan Chai centres
This genetic test analyzes genes associated with developmental delay, intellectual disability, autism, and related conditions. These genes are carefully selected based on currently available evidence. When interpreted together with clinical findings, developmental delay gene evaluation can help doctors confirm a clinical diagnosis, predict disease prognosis and progression, promote early symptom detection, and provide information for family planning and genetic counselling.
Suitable for
Premarital screening and family planning
Children for whom doctors recommend further evaluation
A family history of hereditary conditions
Speech and language developmental delay refers to a lag in a child’s language development. Affected children may fall below typical benchmarks in semantics, grammar, phonology, or language use, meaning they may have difficulties with language comprehension, expression, and everyday communication. Language delay can hinder a child’s social development and may also affect learning ability.
...moreAccording to epidemiological studies, 90 out of every 10,000 children are affected by autism, with a male-to-female ratio of 4 to 5 to 1. In Hong Kong, 2.3 out of every 1,000 children aged 2 to 5 are affected by autism. In addition, data from the Child Assessment Service of the Department of Health show that among newly diagnosed cases of autism, autistic traits, or Asperger syndrome, the male-to-female ratio is about 8 to 1.

It helps you understand the risk of inherited genes that may cause certain diseases in your baby.
If neither you nor your partner is a carrier, your child is very unlikely to inherit the disease.
If one partner is a carrier but the other is not, your baby is very unlikely to inherit the disease.
If both you and your partner are carriers, your child has a 25% chance of inheriting the disease.
Although hereditary genetic testing can help you understand your health history and your chances of a healthy pregnancy and baby, it is not absolute.

According to Hospital Authority Cancer Registry data, Hong Kong recorded over 35,000 new cancer cases in 2019, with an average of 96 confirmed cases per day.
BRCA genes are associated with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer risk. BRCA1/2 mutations substantially increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancer.

Current pre-pregnancy checkups often focus on fertility only. The bigger question is whether a couple may carry hereditary genes that could affect the child.
Planning for hereditary disease risk can be even more important.
