Find Clarity About Hereditary Neurological Conditions
When unexplained coordination problems, muscle stiffness, or balance issues affect your daily life, it’s natural to feel concerned and uncertain. The AFG3L2 Gene Spastic Ataxia Type 5 test provides the answers you need to understand your genetic health and make informed decisions about your future.
Understanding Your AFG3L2 Genetic Test
This advanced genetic test examines the AFG3L2 gene using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify mutations that cause autosomal recessive spastic ataxia type 5. Unlike basic genetic screenings, our comprehensive analysis provides definitive results about this specific hereditary neurological condition.
Spastic ataxia affects coordination and muscle control, often appearing in childhood or early adulthood. By identifying the specific genetic cause, you can better understand your symptoms and explore targeted management approaches.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Progressive difficulty with coordination and balance
- Muscle stiffness or spasticity in your legs
- Family history of similar neurological symptoms
- Unexplained gait abnormalities or walking difficulties
- Concerns about passing genetic conditions to children
Many South African families find peace of mind through genetic testing, especially when multiple family members show similar symptoms across generations.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Getting definitive answers about your genetic health provides numerous benefits:
- Personalised Management: Understand your specific condition to explore targeted therapies and lifestyle adjustments
- Family Planning Confidence: Make informed decisions about having children with genetic counselling guidance
