Find Clarity in Your Neurological Health Journey
When unexplained muscle jerks, seizures, or progressive neurological symptoms disrupt your life, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. You deserve answers, and our PRICKLE1 Gene Progressive Myoclonus Epilepsy Type 1A NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity needed to move forward with confidence. For South Africans facing neurological challenges, this test represents hope, understanding, and a path toward better health management.
Understanding Your PRICKLE1 Genetic Test
Progressive myoclonus epilepsy type 1A is a rare neurological condition characterized by muscle jerks (myoclonus), seizures, and progressive neurological decline. Our advanced NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology examines your PRICKLE1 gene with 99.9% accuracy, identifying mutations that may be responsible for your symptoms. This isn’t just a test – it’s a comprehensive genetic analysis that provides the foundation for personalized treatment and management strategies.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Unexplained muscle jerks or twitching (myoclonus)
- Recurrent seizures that don’t respond well to standard treatments
- Progressive neurological symptoms affecting coordination or cognition
- Family history of similar neurological conditions
- Diagnostic uncertainty despite multiple medical evaluations
- Planning for family and wanting to understand genetic risks
Many South Africans in Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban have found life-changing answers through genetic testing when traditional diagnostic approaches fell short.
