Understanding Your Neurological Health: SCA Genetic Testing for South Africans
When unexplained balance issues, coordination difficulties, or family history of movement disorders create uncertainty about your neurological health, our SCA (Spinocerebellar Ataxia) Profile test provides the answers you need. For just ZAR 3,350, this comprehensive genetic analysis examines 4 key markers associated with hereditary ataxia conditions, giving you and your family the clarity required for proactive health management.
What This Test Reveals About Your Genetic Health
The SCA Profile test uses advanced PCR and fragment analysis technology to examine specific genetic markers linked to spinocerebellar ataxia – a group of inherited neurological disorders affecting coordination and balance. By analyzing any 4 of these crucial markers (*ATXN1, *ATXN2, *ATXN3, *CACNA1A, *ATXN7, *PPP2R2B), our test provides valuable insights into your genetic predisposition for these conditions.
This isn’t just about diagnosis; it’s about understanding your genetic blueprint and making informed decisions about your neurological health journey.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Unexplained balance problems or frequent stumbling
- Coordination difficulties affecting daily activities
- Family history of movement disorders or ataxia
- Progressive speech changes or swallowing difficulties
- Eye movement abnormalities or vision concerns
- Planning for family and concerned about hereditary conditions
Many South Africans with these symptoms find peace of mind through genetic clarity, enabling better health planning and management.
