Find Clarity About Your Neurological Health
When tremors, balance problems, or cognitive changes disrupt your daily life, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. You deserve answers about what’s happening with your body, and our FMR1 Gene Test provides the scientific clarity needed to move forward with confidence.
Understanding the FMR1 Gene Test
This advanced genetic test specifically examines the FMR1 gene for changes that can lead to Fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS). Using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology – the gold standard in genetic testing – we analyse your DNA with exceptional accuracy to detect even subtle genetic variations that might be affecting your neurological function.
FXTAS typically appears in adulthood and can cause progressive tremors, balance and coordination problems, and cognitive changes. Understanding your genetic predisposition empowers you to take control of your health journey.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you’re experiencing:
- Unexplained tremors or shaking that interfere with daily activities
- Balance problems or coordination difficulties that are getting worse
- Memory issues or cognitive changes that concern you
- A family history of neurological conditions or Fragile X syndrome
- Progressive walking difficulties or frequent falls
If you’re over 50 and noticing these symptoms, genetic testing can provide crucial insights for your healthcare team.
