Understanding Your Risk for Hereditary Neurological Conditions
When coordination difficulties, balance problems, or unexplained neurological symptoms affect your daily life, it’s natural to feel concerned and seek answers. Our TTBK2 Gene Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 11 test provides the clarity you need to understand your genetic predisposition to this hereditary condition. Many South Africans with family histories of neurological disorders find peace of mind through genetic testing, allowing them to make informed healthcare decisions.
What This Test Detects
This advanced genetic test specifically examines the TTBK2 gene for mutations associated with Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 11, an autosomal dominant condition that affects coordination and movement. Using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we provide comprehensive analysis with exceptional accuracy. The test identifies specific genetic variations that could impact your neurological health, giving you definitive information about your genetic risk profile.
