Find Clarity for Unexplained Muscle Movements with KCTD17 DYT26 Genetic Testing
Living with sudden, involuntary muscle jerks or tremors can be frightening and disruptive to your daily life. You deserve answers, and our KCTD17 DYT26 myoclonic genetic test provides the clarity you need to move forward with confidence. At Oracle Genomics, we understand the emotional toll of unexplained movement disorders and are here to support you every step of the way.
Understanding Your KCTD17 DYT26 Genetic Test
This specialised genetic test examines the KCTD17 gene using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, the most advanced method available for genetic analysis. The test specifically identifies mutations that cause DYT26 myoclonic dystonia – a neurological condition characterised by sudden, brief muscle contractions (myoclonus) often combined with sustained muscle contractions (dystonia).
Our testing process is straightforward and minimally invasive, requiring only a blood sample or DNA extraction. The entire procedure is supervised by experienced neurologists, ensuring the highest standards of medical care and accuracy.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Sudden, involuntary muscle jerks or twitches
- Unexplained tremors that interfere with daily activities
- Family history of movement disorders
- Muscle stiffness or abnormal postures
- Symptoms that worsen with stress or fatigue
- Onset of movement issues in childhood or early adulthood
Many South Africans live with these symptoms for years without understanding their cause. Early genetic testing can provide the answers needed for proper management and treatment.
