Find Clarity About Spino-Bulbar Muscular Atrophy
When muscle weakness, swallowing difficulties, or family history of neurological conditions create uncertainty, our genetic test provides the answers you need. We understand the anxiety that comes with potential hereditary conditions, and we’re here to offer you reliable, compassionate testing with results you can trust.
Understanding Spino-Bulbar Muscular Atrophy Testing
Spino-bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA), also known as Kennedy’s disease, is a rare inherited condition that affects nerve cells controlling muscle movement. Our test specifically examines the androgen receptor (AR) gene for the genetic mutation that causes this condition. Using advanced PCR and fragment analysis technology, we provide accurate, reliable results that help you understand your genetic risk.
This isn’t just a test – it’s a pathway to understanding your health future and making informed decisions about your care.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Progressive muscle weakness, especially in limbs
- Difficulty swallowing or speaking clearly
- Muscle cramps or twitching
- Family history of neurological conditions
- Concerns about passing genetic conditions to children
- Unexplained changes in muscle function
Many South Africans with these symptoms find peace of mind through genetic testing, allowing them to either rule out concerns or begin appropriate management strategies.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Knowing your genetic status provides numerous benefits:
- Peace of Mind: Eliminate uncertainty about your genetic risk
- Early Intervention: Begin appropriate monitoring and management sooner
- Family Planning: Make informed decisions about having children
- Treatment Guidance: Work with neurologists to develop personalized care plans
- Reduced Anxiety: Replace worry with knowledge and control
Early detection can significantly improve quality of life and help you access the right support services.
Understanding Your Test Results
We make understanding your results simple and supportive:
- Positive Result: Indicates the presence of the AR gene mutation. Our genetic counsellors will explain what this means and connect you with appropriate neurological specialists
- Negative Result: No mutation detected, providing reassurance about your genetic risk
- Inconclusive Result: Rare cases where further testing may be recommended
Every result comes with compassionate guidance from our healthcare team, ensuring you never feel alone in your health journey.
