Find Clarity About Muscle Stiffness with COL6A2 Genetic Testing
Living with unexplained muscle stiffness or weakness can be frightening and isolating. When your body doesn’t move the way it should, every day becomes a challenge. The COL6A2 Gene Myosclerosis test provides the answers you need to understand your genetic risk and take control of your health journey. For just R6,700, gain the peace of mind that comes from knowing exactly what’s happening in your body.
Understanding Your COL6A2 Genetic Test
This specialised test examines the COL6A2 gene using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology – the most advanced genetic testing available. The COL6A2 gene provides instructions for making part of collagen VI, a protein essential for muscle tissue structure and function. When this gene has specific mutations inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, it can lead to myosclerosis – a condition characterised by progressive muscle hardening and stiffness.
Our test doesn’t just give you results; it gives you understanding. We explain your genetic information in clear, compassionate language that helps you make informed decisions about your health care.
Who Should Consider This Important Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Unexplained muscle stiffness that doesn’t improve with stretching
- Progressive muscle weakness affecting daily activities
- Family history of muscle disorders or mobility issues
- Planning for pregnancy with concerns about genetic inheritance
- Children showing early signs of muscle development concerns
Many South Africans live with undiagnosed muscle conditions for years. Early genetic testing can provide the answers needed to access appropriate treatments and support services.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Knowing your genetic status empowers you to:
- Access targeted treatments and therapies sooner
- Make informed family planning decisions
- Connect with appropriate medical specialists
- Understand your risk for related health conditions
