Find Answers for Unexplained Nerve and Muscle Symptoms
When you’re experiencing mysterious muscle weakness, numbness in your hands and feet, or balance problems that doctors can’t explain, it can feel isolating and frightening. Our PMP22 Gene CMT1E NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity you deserve, helping you understand whether Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease might be affecting your nervous system.
Understanding Your PMP22 CMT1E Genetic Test
This specialised test examines the PMP22 gene using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify mutations that cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1E. CMT1E is an inherited neurological disorder that affects the peripheral nerves, leading to progressive muscle weakness and sensory loss. Our test provides 99.9% accuracy in detecting these genetic changes, giving you reliable answers about your neurological health.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Progressive muscle weakness in your feet, legs, hands, or arms
- Numbness or tingling sensations in your extremities
- Difficulty with balance and coordination
- High foot arches or hammer toes
- Family history of similar neurological symptoms
- Unexplained muscle atrophy or wasting
Many South Africans with these symptoms have found life-changing answers through genetic testing, allowing them to better manage their condition and plan for the future.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Getting tested provides crucial benefits:
- Peace of Mind: End the uncertainty about your symptoms
- Early Intervention: Begin appropriate management strategies sooner
- Family Planning: Understand inheritance risks for future generations
- Treatment Guidance: Work with your neurologist on targeted care plans
