Understanding Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia: Your AP4M1 SPG50 Genetic Testing Solution
When neurological symptoms run in your family, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. The AP4M1 Gene SPG50 NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity you need to understand your genetic risk and make informed health decisions. For South African families concerned about hereditary spastic paraplegia, this test offers peace of mind and a path forward.
What Does This Test Detect?
The AP4M1 Gene SPG50 test uses Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify mutations in the AP4M1 gene, which is responsible for SPG50 – a specific type of hereditary spastic paraplegia. This condition affects the nervous system, leading to progressive stiffness and weakness in the legs. By detecting these genetic changes early, you can better understand your risk and take proactive steps for management.
