Find Clarity for Unexplained Movement Disorders
When your body moves in ways you can’t control, or when neurological symptoms appear without warning, it can feel frightening and isolating. The ATP1A3 Gene DYT12 NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the answers you deserve, offering clarity about rapid-onset dystonia-parkinsonism and related movement disorders that may run in your family.
Understanding Your ATP1A3 Genetic Test
This advanced genetic test examines the ATP1A3 gene using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, the most accurate method available today. The ATP1A3 gene plays a crucial role in neurological function, and mutations in this gene can lead to movement disorders that often appear suddenly and progress rapidly.
Our test provides comprehensive analysis of this specific gene, helping identify whether genetic factors are contributing to your neurological symptoms.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Sudden onset of dystonia (involuntary muscle contractions)
- Parkinsonism symptoms like tremors or stiffness
- Difficulty with speech or swallowing that developed rapidly
- Family history of movement disorders or neurological conditions
- Unexplained neurological symptoms that appeared in adolescence or early adulthood
Many South Africans with these symptoms have found answers through genetic testing, allowing for better management and treatment planning.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Getting a definitive diagnosis through genetic testing provides numerous benefits:
- Accurate Diagnosis: Move beyond uncertainty with clear genetic confirmation
- Personalised Treatment: Work with your neurologist to develop targeted management strategies
- Family Planning: Understand inheritance patterns for future family decisions
- Peace of Mind: Reduce the stress of not knowing what’s causing your symptoms
- Early Intervention: Begin appropriate treatments sooner for better outcomes
