Understanding Your Neurological Health Concerns
When you notice changes in your coordination, balance, or movement, it’s natural to feel concerned and uncertain. The IFRD1 Gene Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 18 test is designed to provide the clarity you need about potential inherited neurological conditions. Many South Africans facing similar symptoms find peace of mind through genetic testing, allowing them to take control of their health journey with confidence.
What This Test Detects
This advanced genetic test specifically examines the IFRD1 gene for mutations associated with Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 18, an autosomal dominant condition that affects coordination and movement. Using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we analyse your DNA with exceptional accuracy to identify any genetic variations that could impact your neurological health.
Who Should Consider This Test
This test is particularly important if you’re experiencing:
- Progressive balance and coordination difficulties
- Family history of movement disorders or ataxia
- Unexplained gait changes or clumsiness
- Speech difficulties that have developed over time
- Eye movement abnormalities
