Find Clarity About Your Muscle Health with SGCA Gene Testing
When you’re experiencing unexplained muscle weakness or have a family history of muscular dystrophy, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our SGCA gene test provides the definitive answers you need to understand your genetic risk for limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2D. With advanced NGS technology and compassionate genetic counselling, we’re here to guide you through this important health journey.
Understanding Your SGCA Gene Test
This specialised genetic test examines your SGCA gene for mutations that cause limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2D – a condition that affects the muscles around your shoulders and hips. Using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we analyse your DNA with exceptional accuracy to identify any genetic variations that could impact your muscle health.
The test is designed to be comprehensive yet straightforward, requiring only a simple blood sample or DNA extraction. Our process includes essential genetic counselling to help you understand your family history and what the results mean for your health future.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Progressive muscle weakness in your shoulders, hips, or thighs
- Difficulty climbing stairs or rising from chairs
- Family history of muscular dystrophy or unexplained muscle conditions
- Concerns about passing genetic conditions to your children
- Unexplained elevated creatine kinase levels
If you’re planning a family and have concerns about inherited muscle conditions, this test provides crucial information for making informed decisions.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Getting tested for SGCA gene mutations offers significant benefits:
- Early Intervention: Identify conditions before significant muscle damage occurs
- Family Planning: Make informed decisions about having children
