Find Clarity About Hereditary Neuropathy with AIFM1 Gene Testing
When unexplained muscle weakness, numbness, or balance issues run in your family, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. You deserve answers about whether CMTX4 – a specific form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease – could be affecting you or your loved ones. Our AIFM1 Gene CMTX4 NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the definitive clarity you need to make informed decisions about your neurological health.
Understanding Your AIFM1 Gene Test
This specialised genetic test examines the AIFM1 gene using advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify mutations that cause CMTX4 neuropathy. Unlike standard tests, NGS provides comprehensive analysis of the entire gene, ensuring no potential mutations are missed. The test is specifically designed to detect the X-linked inheritance pattern characteristic of CMTX4, which primarily affects males but can be carried by females.
Our neurologist-supervised testing process ensures medical accuracy while our genetic counselling support helps you understand the implications for your entire family.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms or have family history suggesting hereditary neuropathy, this test could provide life-changing clarity:
- Progressive muscle weakness in hands, feet, or legs
- Numbness, tingling, or burning sensations in extremities
- Difficulty with balance or frequent tripping
- Foot deformities like high arches or hammer toes
- Family history of similar neurological symptoms
- Unexplained muscle wasting or loss of coordination
Many South African families have found peace of mind through early detection, allowing for better management and treatment planning.
