Find Answers for Unexplained Fatigue and Developmental Concerns
When your body struggles to produce energy properly, it can feel like you’re constantly running on empty. If you or your loved ones experience persistent fatigue, muscle weakness, or developmental delays without clear explanation, our MRPS16 Gene Test provides the clarity you deserve. This specialised genetic test helps identify Combined Oxidative Phosphorylation Deficiency Type 2 – a condition that affects how your cells generate energy.
Understanding Your MRPS16 Gene Test
Think of your cells as tiny power plants that need to produce energy constantly. The MRPS16 gene plays a crucial role in this energy production process within your mitochondria – the powerhouses of your cells. When this gene doesn’t function properly, it can lead to Combined Oxidative Phosphorylation Deficiency Type 2, causing symptoms that often go undiagnosed for years.
Our test uses Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, the gold standard in genetic testing, to examine your MRPS16 gene with exceptional accuracy. This isn’t just another blood test – it’s a comprehensive genetic analysis that looks deep into your DNA to find answers that routine medical tests might miss.
Who Should Consider This Important Genetic Test?
This test could be life-changing if you or your family members experience:
- Unexplained, persistent fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest
- Muscle weakness or poor muscle tone, especially in infants and children
- Developmental delays in reaching milestones like sitting, walking, or talking
- Neurological symptoms including seizures or coordination problems
- Family history of similar symptoms across generations
- Multiple unexplained medical issues that don’t fit a clear diagnosis
Many South African families struggle for years without answers. Our test provides the clarity needed to move forward with appropriate care and management strategies.
