Find Answers for Unexplained Neurological Symptoms
Living with unexplained muscle weakness, numbness, or coordination problems can be frightening and isolating. You may have visited multiple doctors, tried various treatments, but still lack clear answers about what’s causing your symptoms. Our GJB1 Gene Dejerine-Sottas Disease NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity you deserve, using cutting-edge technology to identify the genetic root of your neurological concerns.
Understanding Your GJB1 Gene Test
Dejerine-Sottas disease is a rare inherited neurological condition that affects the peripheral nerves, causing progressive muscle weakness and sensory loss. The GJB1 gene provides instructions for making a protein essential for proper nerve function. When mutations occur in this gene, it disrupts nerve signal transmission, leading to the symptoms of Dejerine-Sottas disease.
Our test uses Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, the gold standard in genetic testing, to thoroughly examine your GJB1 gene for any abnormalities. This advanced approach ensures maximum accuracy and reliability in detecting even subtle genetic variations.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Progressive muscle weakness in hands, feet, or limbs
- Numbness or tingling sensations
- Difficulty with coordination and balance
- Foot deformities or high arches
- Family history of similar neurological symptoms
- Unexplained walking difficulties
- Muscle atrophy or wasting
If these symptoms sound familiar, or if you have family members with similar concerns, this test could provide the answers that have been eluding you.
