Understanding Your Risk for Hereditary Neurological Conditions
If you’re worried about unexplained balance problems, coordination difficulties, or have a family history of neurological disorders, you’re not alone. Many South Africans face concerns about hereditary conditions that can affect movement and coordination. Our ATXN2 Gene Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 2 test provides the clarity and peace of mind you deserve.
What This Test Detects
This advanced genetic test specifically identifies mutations in the ATXN2 gene that cause Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 2 (SCA2), an autosomal dominant neurological condition. Using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we analyse your DNA with 99.9% accuracy to determine if you carry the genetic variations associated with this progressive movement disorder.
Who Should Consider This Test
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Unexplained balance problems or coordination difficulties
- Family history of movement disorders or ataxia
- Progressive speech difficulties or swallowing problems
- Eye movement abnormalities or tremors
- Planning for pregnancy with family neurological history
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
