Understanding Your Genetic Risk for Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia
When neurological symptoms run in your family, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. The TFG Gene SPG57 NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity you need to understand your genetic predisposition to hereditary spastic paraplegia. We understand the emotional weight of genetic testing, which is why our approach combines cutting-edge science with compassionate care.
What Does the TFG Gene SPG57 Test Detect?
This advanced genetic test specifically examines the TFG gene for mutations associated with SPG57, a form of hereditary spastic paraplegia. Using next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology, we analyze your DNA with exceptional accuracy to identify any genetic variations that may affect neurological function. The test provides definitive information about your genetic status, helping you and your healthcare team make informed decisions about your neurological health.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Progressive muscle stiffness and weakness in the legs
- Difficulty walking that worsens over time
- Family history of similar neurological symptoms
- Unexplained balance and coordination issues
- Concerns about passing genetic conditions to children
- Early signs of spasticity or muscle tightness
If hereditary spastic paraplegia runs in your family, this test can provide crucial information for family planning and early intervention.

- Personalized treatment and management strategies
