Find Answers for Unexplained Neurological Symptoms with SFXN4 Gene Testing
When your body’s energy production system isn’t working properly, it can cause confusing and concerning symptoms that affect daily life. If you or your loved ones experience unexplained muscle weakness, developmental delays, or neurological issues, our SFXN4 Gene Test provides the clarity you need. This specialised genetic test detects Combined Oxidative Phosphorylation Deficiency Type 18, helping South African families understand complex health challenges and make informed decisions about their care.
Understanding the SFXN4 Gene Test
The SFXN4 gene plays a crucial role in your body’s energy production system within mitochondria – the powerhouses of your cells. When this gene doesn’t function properly, it can lead to Combined Oxidative Phosphorylation Deficiency Type 18, a condition that affects how your body generates energy. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your SFXN4 gene with exceptional accuracy, identifying any mutations that might be causing health concerns.
This isn’t just another genetic test – it’s a targeted investigation into one of the most fundamental processes in your body. By understanding your genetic makeup, we can help unravel complex medical mysteries that may have been puzzling you and your healthcare providers for years.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Unexplained muscle weakness or fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest
- Developmental delays in children, especially motor skill development
- Neurological symptoms like seizures, coordination problems, or cognitive issues
- Family history of mitochondrial disorders or similar conditions
- Multiple unexplained symptoms affecting different body systems
- Previous normal results from standard medical tests despite ongoing symptoms
Many South African families struggle for years without clear answers. This test can provide the missing piece to your health puzzle, helping you and your doctors develop a targeted treatment plan.
