Find Clarity in Your Family’s Health Journey
When seizures and epilepsy run in your family, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. You deserve answers, and our SCN9A Gene Epilepsy DNA Test provides the clarity that could change your family’s health story. For South Africans facing unexplained neurological conditions, this test represents hope and understanding.
Understanding Your SCN9A Epilepsy DNA Test
The SCN9A gene plays a crucial role in how your nervous system functions. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to Generalized Epilepsy with Febrile Seizures Plus (GEFS+), a condition that affects how your brain controls electrical activity. Our test uses Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to examine this specific gene with exceptional accuracy, providing insights that traditional testing might miss.
Think of it as reading the precise genetic instructions that govern your nervous system’s stability. When these instructions contain errors, it can lead to the seizure patterns you or your family members may be experiencing.
Who Should Consider This Important Test?
This test could be life-changing if you or your family members experience:
- Unexplained seizures that began in childhood
- Febrile seizures (seizures with fever) that continued beyond age 6
- Multiple types of seizures within the same family
- Family history of epilepsy across generations
- Seizures that don’t respond well to standard treatments
- Concerns about passing epilepsy risk to children
Many South African families live with these challenges without understanding their genetic origins. You’re not alone in seeking answers.
