Find Clarity for Unexplained Balance and Sensory Issues
When everyday movements become challenging and your body doesn’t respond as it should, it can be frightening and isolating. The RNF170 Gene Ataxia Sensory Type 1 test offers South African families the answers they deserve – a clear genetic diagnosis that explains those mysterious symptoms affecting balance, coordination, and sensation.
Understanding Your RNF170 Ataxia Test
This specialised genetic test examines the RNF170 gene using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology – the most advanced method available. It specifically identifies mutations that cause Sensory Type 1 Ataxia, an inherited condition that affects your nervous system’s ability to process sensory information properly. Think of it as finding the exact instruction error in your body’s genetic blueprint that’s causing the communication problems between your brain and limbs.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you or family members experience:
- Unexplained balance problems or frequent stumbling
- Difficulty with coordination that seems to be getting worse
- Reduced sensation in hands or feet
- Family history of similar neurological symptoms
- Progressive walking difficulties without clear cause
- Abnormal reflexes or muscle weakness
Many South Africans live with these symptoms for years without understanding the underlying cause. Getting tested means you can stop guessing and start managing your condition effectively.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Knowing your genetic status empowers you to:
- Receive accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plans
- Make informed family planning decisions
- Access specialised neurological care sooner
- Implement lifestyle adjustments to manage symptoms
- Connect with support networks and resources
- Reduce anxiety through definitive answers
Early detection can significantly improve quality of life by enabling proactive management rather than reactive treatment.
