Find Clarity About Spinal and Bulbar Muscular Atrophy in Your Family
When muscle weakness, swallowing difficulties, or family history of neurological conditions create uncertainty, our AR gene test provides the answers you need for confident health planning. We understand the emotional weight of genetic concerns and provide compassionate, accurate testing to guide your family’s future.
Understanding Your AR Gene Test
This advanced genetic test examines the androgen receptor (AR) gene using next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology to identify mutations associated with X-linked spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy. Also known as Kennedy’s disease, this condition affects nerve cells that control muscle movement, particularly in the limbs, face, and throat.
Our test provides comprehensive analysis of the AR gene, detecting even subtle genetic changes that could impact your neurological health and family planning decisions.
Who Should Consider This Test?
- Individuals experiencing progressive muscle weakness, especially in limbs
- Those with swallowing difficulties or speech changes
- Men with symptoms starting in adulthood (30-50 years)
- Individuals with a family history of neurological conditions
- People concerned about passing genetic conditions to children
- Those seeking clarity about unexplained muscle symptoms
If you’re in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, or anywhere in South Africa and recognize these symptoms in yourself or family members, this test can provide essential answers.
