Find Answers for Movement Disorders with Our SPR Gene Dystonia DNA Test
When unexplained muscle stiffness, tremors, or movement difficulties affect your daily life, it’s natural to feel concerned and uncertain. Our SPR Gene Dystonia DOPA-responsive genetic test provides the clarity you deserve, helping you understand the genetic basis of your symptoms and opening doors to effective treatment options.
Understanding Your SPR Gene Dystonia Test
This advanced genetic test specifically examines the SPR gene, which plays a crucial role in producing neurotransmitters that control muscle movement. When this gene isn’t working properly, it can cause DOPA-responsive dystonia – a condition where movement problems often improve significantly with specific medications. Our test uses Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, the gold standard in genetic analysis, to provide you with the most accurate results possible.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test may be right for you or your child if you experience:
- Unexplained muscle stiffness or rigidity, especially in the legs
- Tremors or shaking that worsens throughout the day
- Difficulty with walking or coordination
- Abnormal postures or twisting movements
- Family history of similar movement disorders
- Symptoms that improve after rest or sleep
Many patients find their symptoms dramatically improve with proper treatment once the genetic cause is identified.
