Understanding Your Genetic Health: FGD4 Gene CGT4H Testing
When unexplained neurological symptoms affect your family, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. The FGD4 Gene CMT4H NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity and answers South African families need to understand hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy type 4H. This rare genetic condition can impact nerve function, leading to progressive muscle weakness and sensory changes that affect daily life.
What This Test Detects
The FGD4 gene plays a crucial role in nerve cell development and function. Mutations in this gene can lead to Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4H (CMT4H), a form of hereditary neuropathy that affects the peripheral nerves. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your FGD4 gene with exceptional accuracy, identifying specific mutations that could be causing neurological symptoms in you or your family members.
Who Should Consider This Test
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Progressive muscle weakness in hands and feet
- Foot deformities like high arches or hammertoes
- Difficulty walking or frequent tripping
- Reduced sensation in extremities
- Family history of similar neurological symptoms
- Unexplained balance problems or coordination issues
Why Early Detection Matters
Identifying FGD4 gene mutations early provides numerous health benefits:
- Family Planning Guidance: Understand inheritance patterns for future generations
- Proactive Management: Implement strategies to manage symptoms effectively
- Peace of Mind: Reduce uncertainty about your genetic health status
- Targeted Care: Work with neurologists to create personalized treatment plans
- Genetic Counselling: Our included counselling sessions help you understand results and implications
