Find Peace of Mind About Fatal Familial Insomnia
Living with the uncertainty of inherited sleep disorders can feel overwhelming. We understand the anxiety that comes with family history of fatal familial insomnia, and we’re here to provide the clarity and answers you deserve. Our advanced PRNP Gene testing offers reliable detection and professional genetic counselling to help you make informed decisions about your health.
Understanding Your PRNP Gene Test
Fatal familial insomnia is a rare inherited prion disease that affects the brain’s ability to regulate sleep. Our NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) genetic test specifically examines the PRNP gene for mutations that cause this condition. Using the most advanced DNA sequencing technology available, we provide comprehensive analysis with exceptional accuracy.
The test requires either a blood sample, extracted DNA, or a simple blood drop on an FTA card, making the process convenient and accessible for patients across South Africa.
