Find Clarity About Neurogenic Scapuloperoneal Syndrome in Your Family
When muscle weakness runs in your family, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. Our DES Gene Neurogenic Scapuloperoneal Syndrome Kaeser Type NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the definitive answers you need to make informed health decisions and plan for your family’s future.
Understanding Your DES Gene Test
This specialised genetic test examines the DES gene using advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify mutations associated with neurogenic scapuloperoneal syndrome, Kaeser type. This rare neuromuscular condition affects the nerves controlling your shoulder and leg muscles, and understanding your genetic status can bring peace of mind and guide your healthcare journey.
Our test provides comprehensive analysis with 99.9% accuracy, giving you reliable information about whether you carry the genetic mutation that could affect you or your children.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Progressive muscle weakness in shoulders and legs
- Difficulty raising arms or walking normally
- Foot drop or frequent tripping
- Scapular winging (shoulder blades sticking out)
- Family history of neuromuscular disorders
- Planning pregnancy with known family history
Many South African families with European ancestry may have undiagnosed genetic risks, making early detection crucial for proactive management.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Knowing your genetic status empowers you to:
- Make informed family planning decisions
- Access appropriate medical care and monitoring
- Connect with specialist neurologists in Johannesburg, Cape Town, or Durban
- Participate in relevant clinical trials or support groups
