Find Clarity About Hereditary Movement Disorders
When movement difficulties run in your family, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our KCNC3 Gene Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 13 test provides the answers you need to take control of your neurological health. For just ZAR 6,700, gain peace of mind through advanced genetic testing that could change your family’s health trajectory.
Understanding Your KCNC3 Ataxia Test
This specialised genetic test examines the KCNC3 gene using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify mutations that cause spinocerebellar ataxia type 13. This autosomal dominant condition means if one parent carries the gene mutation, there’s a 50% chance of passing it to each child. Our test provides definitive answers about your genetic risk, helping you and your healthcare team plan for the future with confidence.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Progressive coordination difficulties or balance problems
- Family history of movement disorders or ataxia
- Speech difficulties that have developed over time
- Eye movement abnormalities or vision concerns
- Planning pregnancy with known family history of neurological conditions
Many South African families find this test brings relief from uncertainty and empowers better health decisions.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Knowing your genetic status provides significant advantages:
- Proactive Management: Early intervention can help manage symptoms more effectively
- Family Planning Confidence: Make informed decisions about starting a family
- Treatment Guidance: Help your neurologist develop targeted care strategies
- Emotional Peace: Replace uncertainty with clear understanding
- Future Preparedness: Plan for potential healthcare needs with confidence
Understanding Your Test Results
Your results will clearly indicate whether a KCNC3 gene mutation is present. Our genetic counsellors will explain what this means for your health and family. Remember: a positive result doesn’t necessarily mean symptoms will develop, but it does provide valuable information for monitoring and management. We provide comprehensive support to help you understand and act on your results.
