Find Answers for Unexplained Fatigue and Muscle Weakness
When your body struggles to produce energy properly, it can feel like you’re fighting an invisible battle. Mitochondrial complex I deficiency affects how your cells generate energy, leading to persistent fatigue, muscle weakness, and developmental concerns. Our NDUFA1 gene test provides the clarity you deserve to understand what’s happening inside your body.
Understanding the NDUFA1 Gene Test
This advanced genetic test uses Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to examine your NDUFA1 gene – a crucial component in your body’s energy production system. When this gene has mutations, it disrupts mitochondrial complex I, the first step in creating cellular energy. Think of it as finding the specific wiring problem in your body’s power generator.
Our test doesn’t just identify problems; it provides a roadmap for managing your health with precision and confidence.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your child experiences:
- Unexplained chronic fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest
- Muscle weakness or poor muscle tone
- Developmental delays in children
- Neurological symptoms like seizures or movement disorders
- Family history of mitochondrial disorders
- Unexplained exercise intolerance
Many South African families have found answers through this test, ending years of uncertainty about their health concerns.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Identifying NDUFA1 gene mutations early can significantly improve quality of life by:
- Enabling targeted treatment approaches
- Preventing unnecessary medical procedures
- Providing clarity for family planning decisions
- Reducing years of diagnostic uncertainty
