Understanding Dystonia and Finding Answers
When your body moves in ways you can’t control, it affects every aspect of your life. The involuntary muscle contractions, twisting movements, and abnormal postures associated with dystonia can be physically exhausting and emotionally draining. At Oracle Genomics, we understand the frustration of living with unexplained neurological symptoms and the urgent need for accurate diagnosis.
What the HPCA Gene DYT2 Test Detects
This advanced genetic test specifically examines the HPCA gene for mutations that cause DYT2 dystonia, a rare inherited movement disorder. Using next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology, we provide comprehensive analysis that identifies even subtle genetic variations. This isn’t just a test – it’s a pathway to understanding your body’s unique challenges and finding appropriate management strategies.
