Find Answers for Unexplained Muscle Weakness and Paralysis Episodes
When sudden paralysis strikes without warning, it can leave you feeling vulnerable and uncertain about your future. The CACNA1S Gene Thyrotoxic Periodic Paralysis Type 1 test provides the clarity you need to understand these frightening episodes and take back control of your health.
Understanding Your Test: What This Means for You
This advanced genetic test examines the CACNA1S gene, which plays a crucial role in muscle function. When this gene has specific mutations, it can cause sudden, temporary paralysis episodes – often triggered by thyroid conditions or other factors. Our Next Generation Sequencing technology provides the most accurate analysis available, giving you definitive answers about your genetic risk.
