Find Clarity for Your Neurological Symptoms
When dizziness, balance problems, or coordination issues disrupt your daily life, it’s natural to feel anxious and uncertain. You deserve answers about what’s causing these episodes and how to manage them effectively. Our CACNA1A Gene Episodic Ataxia Type 2 test provides the definitive genetic information you need to understand your condition and take control of your health journey.
Understanding the CACNA1A Genetic Test
This specialised test examines the CACNA1A gene using advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify mutations that cause episodic ataxia type 2. Think of it as reading your genetic blueprint to find the specific instructions that might be causing your neurological symptoms. The test is incredibly accurate and comprehensive, looking at every part of the gene that could be responsible for your condition.
We use state-of-the-art laboratory techniques to ensure the highest level of precision, giving you and your neurologist reliable information for making informed healthcare decisions.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Recurrent episodes of poor coordination and balance problems
- Periodic dizziness or vertigo that comes and goes
- Difficulty with fine motor skills during certain episodes
- Family history of similar neurological symptoms
- Unexplained eye movement abnormalities (nystagmus)
- Symptoms that began in childhood or early adulthood
If you’ve been searching for answers about these intermittent neurological symptoms, this test could provide the clarity you’ve been seeking.
Why This Test Matters for Your Health
Getting an accurate diagnosis through genetic testing offers several important benefits:
- Peace of Mind: End the uncertainty about what’s causing your symptoms
- Personalised Treatment: Help your neurologist develop targeted management strategies
- Family Planning: Understand inheritance patterns for future family decisions
- Early Intervention: Begin appropriate management sooner rather than later
- Reduced Medical Costs: Avoid unnecessary tests and treatments by getting the right diagnosis first
