Find Answers for Unexplained Muscle Weakness with CAV3 Gene Myopathy Testing
If you’re experiencing progressive muscle weakness in your hands, feet, or limbs, or have a family history of muscle disorders, you’re not alone. Our CAV3 Gene Myopathy Distal Tateyama Type NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity and answers you need to take control of your health journey. For just ZAR 6,700 (special price from ZAR 9,350), you can access world-class genetic testing right here in South Africa.
Understanding Your CAV3 Gene Myopathy Test
The CAV3 gene plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy muscle function. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to distal Tateyama type myopathy – a rare muscle disorder that primarily affects the muscles in your hands, feet, and lower limbs. Our advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your DNA with exceptional precision, identifying even the smallest genetic variations that could be causing your symptoms.
This isn’t just another test – it’s a comprehensive diagnostic tool that provides definitive answers about your genetic makeup and how it affects your muscle health.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is specifically designed for individuals experiencing:
- Progressive muscle weakness in hands, feet, or distal limbs
- Difficulty with fine motor skills like buttoning clothes or writing
- Foot drop or walking difficulties
- Family history of muscle disorders or unexplained weakness
- Muscle cramps or stiffness without clear cause
- Concerns about passing genetic conditions to children
If you’ve been searching for answers about your muscle symptoms, this test could provide the breakthrough you need.
