Understanding Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia: Your Path to Clarity Starts Here
When neurological symptoms run in your family, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. The GJC2 Gene SPG44 NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the answers you need to understand your genetic risk and plan for your family’s future with confidence.
What This Test Reveals About Your Health
The GJC2 gene plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy nerve function. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to SPG44 – a form of hereditary spastic paraplegia that affects muscle control and movement. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your DNA with exceptional precision, identifying even the smallest genetic variations that could impact your neurological health.
This isn’t just a test – it’s a comprehensive health assessment that gives you and your healthcare provider the information needed to create personalised management strategies.
Is This Test Right for You or Your Family?
Consider this genetic test if you or your family members experience:
- Progressive stiffness and weakness in the legs
- Difficulty with walking or balance that seems to run in the family
- Muscle spasms or increased muscle tone
- Family history of neurological conditions affecting movement
- Planning for pregnancy and concerned about hereditary risks
- Unexplained neurological symptoms with potential genetic links
Many South African families find that understanding their genetic makeup brings relief from uncertainty and empowers them to take proactive health measures.

- Peace of Mind: Eliminate the anxiety of not knowing your genetic risk
- Informed Family Planning: Make confident decisions about starting or growing your family
