Find Clarity in Your Neurological Health Journey
When unexplained symptoms like coordination problems, muscle stiffness, or balance issues disrupt your daily life, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. You deserve answers, and our KIF1C Gene Spastic Ataxia Type 2 test provides the clarity needed to move forward with confidence. This isn’t just a test – it’s your pathway to understanding and managing your neurological health.
Understanding Your KIF1C Gene Test
The KIF1C gene plays a crucial role in nerve cell function and movement coordination. When mutations occur in this gene, they can lead to Spastic Ataxia Type 2 – a progressive neurological condition that affects movement and coordination. Our advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your DNA with exceptional accuracy, identifying even the smallest genetic variations that could be causing your symptoms.
This autosomal recessive condition means both parents must carry the gene mutation for it to be passed on to their children. Understanding your genetic status empowers you to make informed decisions about your health and family planning.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you’re experiencing:
- Progressive difficulty with coordination and balance
- Muscle stiffness or spasticity that’s worsening over time
- Family history of similar neurological symptoms
- Unexplained walking difficulties or frequent falls
- Concerns about passing genetic conditions to children
- Diagnostic uncertainty despite multiple medical consultations
Many South Africans with these symptoms have found life-changing answers through genetic testing, allowing them to access targeted treatments and support.
