Find Clarity About Epilepsy and Seizures with SCN1A Genetic Testing
If you or a loved one experiences unexplained seizures, epilepsy, or febrile seizures that started in childhood, you understand the uncertainty and worry that comes with not knowing the underlying cause. The SCN1A genetic test offers the clarity you’ve been searching for, providing answers that can guide your treatment and bring peace of mind to your family.
Understanding the SCN1A Genetic Test
The SCN1A gene plays a critical role in how your brain cells communicate. When this gene doesn’t function properly, it can lead to conditions like generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus type 2. Our advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines this gene with exceptional accuracy, helping identify specific genetic variations that may be causing your symptoms.
This isn’t just another medical test – it’s a comprehensive analysis that looks deep into your genetic makeup to provide insights that traditional testing might miss. By understanding the genetic basis of your condition, you and your healthcare team can develop more targeted treatment approaches.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your child experiences:
- Unexplained seizures that began in childhood
- Febrile seizures (seizures with fever) that continue beyond early childhood
- Multiple types of seizures within the same person
- A family history of epilepsy or seizure disorders
- Seizures that don’t respond well to standard medications
- Developmental delays alongside seizure activity
If you’re in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, or anywhere in South Africa, and you’ve been searching for answers about seizure disorders, this test could provide the breakthrough you need.
Why This Test Matters for Your Health
Getting the right diagnosis can transform your approach to managing epilepsy and seizures. The SCN1A test offers:
- Accurate Diagnosis: Move beyond symptom management to understanding the root cause
- Personalised Treatment: Help your neurologist choose medications that work best for your specific genetic profile
- Family Planning Insights: Understand inheritance patterns for future family planning
- Peace of Mind: Reduce the uncertainty and anxiety of not knowing what’s causing your symptoms
