Find Answers for Unexplained Muscle Weakness and Eye Movement Issues
When you’re experiencing progressive muscle weakness or difficulty moving your eyes, it can be frightening and isolating. The RYR1 Gene Minicore Myopathy with External Ophthalmoplegia NGS Genetic DNA Test offers clarity and direction for South African families facing these challenging symptoms. For just ZAR 6,700, you can access cutting-edge genetic testing that provides definitive answers about your condition.
Understanding Your RYR1 Gene Test
This advanced genetic test examines the RYR1 gene, which plays a crucial role in muscle function. When mutations occur in this gene, they can cause Minicore Myopathy – a condition characterized by progressive muscle weakness – combined with external ophthalmoplegia, which affects your ability to move your eyes normally. Our Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology provides the most accurate and comprehensive analysis available in South Africa.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
If you or your family members experience any of these symptoms, this test could provide life-changing answers:
- Progressive muscle weakness, especially in the limbs and trunk
- Difficulty with eye movements or double vision
- Family history of muscle disorders or eye movement problems
- Delayed motor development in children
- Frequent falls or difficulty with physical activities
- Muscle fatigue that worsens with activity
Early detection through genetic testing can help you access appropriate treatments and management strategies sooner.
