Find Answers for Unexplained Neurological and Digestive Symptoms
When you’re experiencing persistent neurological issues, digestive problems, and muscle weakness without clear answers, it can feel overwhelming and isolating. Our POLG Gene Mitochondrial Neurogastrointestinal Encephalopathy Syndrome test provides the clarity you need to understand your health journey and take control of your wellbeing.
Understanding Your POLG Gene Test
The POLG gene plays a crucial role in mitochondrial function – the energy powerhouses of your cells. When this gene has mutations, it can lead to mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalopathy syndrome, a condition affecting your nervous system, digestive tract, and overall energy production. Our Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your DNA with exceptional precision, identifying even the smallest genetic variations that could be causing your symptoms.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you’re experiencing:
- Unexplained muscle weakness or fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest
- Persistent gastrointestinal issues like nausea, vomiting, or difficulty swallowing
- Neurological symptoms including coordination problems, seizures, or cognitive changes
- Family history of similar neurological or mitochondrial disorders
- Multiple specialists without clear diagnosis for your complex symptoms
Many South Africans with these symptoms spend years searching for answers – our test can provide the genetic clarity needed for proper diagnosis and management.
