Find Answers for Unexplained Neurological Symptoms with MT-ND4 Gene Testing
When your body’s energy production system isn’t working properly, it can feel like you’re constantly running on empty. Mitochondrial complex I deficiency affects how your cells generate energy, leading to frustrating symptoms that often go undiagnosed for years. Our MT-ND4 Gene Test provides the clarity you need to understand what’s happening inside your body and take control of your health journey.
Understanding Your MT-ND4 Gene Test
The MT-ND4 gene plays a critical role in your body’s energy production system within mitochondria – the powerhouses of your cells. When this gene has mutations, it disrupts Complex I function, leading to insufficient energy production that particularly affects high-energy organs like the brain, muscles, and heart. Our Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines this specific gene with exceptional accuracy, providing definitive answers about mitochondrial function.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your child experience:
- Unexplained muscle weakness or exercise intolerance
- Chronic fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest
- Developmental delays in children
- Neurological symptoms like seizures or movement disorders
- Vision or hearing problems without clear cause
- Family history of mitochondrial disorders
- Multiple organ system involvement without diagnosis
Many South African families spend years searching for answers to these complex symptoms. Our test provides the missing piece to your diagnostic puzzle.
