Find Answers for Progressive Eye Muscle Weakness
When your eyes won’t move as they should, and everyday activities become challenging, it’s natural to feel concerned and uncertain. Progressive external ophthalmoplegia can significantly impact your quality of life, making even simple tasks like reading or driving difficult. Our RNASEH1 gene test provides the clarity you need to understand this complex mitochondrial disorder and take control of your health journey.
Understanding the RNASEH1 Genetic Test
This advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) test specifically examines the RNASEH1 gene, which plays a crucial role in mitochondrial DNA maintenance. When this gene isn’t functioning properly, it can lead to progressive external ophthalmoplegia with mitochondrial DNA deletions – a condition that gradually weakens the muscles controlling eye movement and can affect overall energy levels.
The test is performed using a simple blood sample or extracted DNA, making the process comfortable and straightforward. Our state-of-the-art laboratory technology ensures the highest accuracy in detecting genetic variations that could be affecting your health.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you’re experiencing:
- Gradual weakening of eye muscles over time
- Difficulty moving your eyes in different directions
- Drooping eyelids that worsen throughout the day
- Family history of similar eye movement problems
- Unexplained fatigue alongside eye symptoms
- Multiple family members with neurological conditions
If you’ve been struggling with these symptoms without clear answers, genetic testing can provide the missing piece to your health puzzle.
