Understanding Hereditary Sensory Neuropathy: Your Path to Clarity
Living with unexplained nerve symptoms can be frightening and isolating. The tingling, numbness, or burning sensations that seem to have no clear cause can disrupt your daily life and leave you searching for answers. Our RETREG1 Gene HSAN2B NGS Genetic DNA Test is designed specifically to provide the clarity and peace of mind you deserve when facing potential hereditary sensory neuropathy.
What This Test Detects: Building Your Understanding
This advanced genetic test examines the RETREG1 gene, which plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy nerve function. When mutations occur in this gene, they can lead to Hereditary Sensory and Autonomic Neuropathy Type 2B (HSAN2B), a condition that affects the peripheral nerves responsible for sensation and automatic body functions. Using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we analyse your DNA with exceptional precision to identify any abnormalities that could explain your symptoms.
Who Should Consider This Test: Finding Relevance in Your Symptoms
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Unexplained numbness or tingling in hands and feet
- Progressive loss of sensation to pain and temperature
- Recurrent injuries or infections you didn’t feel occurring
- Family history of similar neurological symptoms
- Muscle weakness or coordination difficulties
- Autonomic symptoms like sweating abnormalities or blood pressure changes
If you have relatives diagnosed with hereditary neuropathy or notice symptoms developing in childhood or early adulthood, this test could provide life-changing answers.
