Understanding Your Neurological Health: WDR48 SPG60 Genetic Testing
If you’re experiencing unexplained muscle stiffness, walking difficulties, or have a family history of neurological conditions, you’re not alone. Many South Africans face uncertainty about hereditary spastic paraplegia, but now you can get definitive answers. Our WDR48 SPG60 genetic test provides the clarity you need to understand your genetic risk and take proactive steps for your health.
What Does the WDR48 SPG60 Test Detect?
This advanced genetic test specifically looks for mutations in the WDR48 gene that are associated with SPG60, a form of hereditary spastic paraplegia. Using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology – the gold standard in genetic testing – we analyse your DNA with exceptional accuracy to identify any genetic variations that could affect your neurological health.
Think of it as having a detailed map of your genetic blueprint for neurological function. This isn’t just a test; it’s your pathway to understanding and managing potential hereditary conditions.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Progressive stiffness and weakness in your legs
- Difficulty walking or changes in your gait
- Family history of hereditary spastic paraplegia
- Unexplained neurological symptoms in multiple family members
- Concerns about passing genetic conditions to children
- Early signs of muscle spasticity or coordination issues
Many patients from Johannesburg to Cape Town have found peace of mind through early detection, allowing them to plan their healthcare journey with confidence.
