Find Clarity for Unexplained Neurological Symptoms
When your child or loved one experiences developmental delays, muscle weakness, or neurological symptoms without clear cause, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our MARS2 Gene Test provides the answers you need to understand and address Combined Oxidative Phosphorylation Deficiency Type 25 – a serious mitochondrial disorder that affects energy production in cells.
Understanding Your MARS2 Genetic Test
This advanced genetic test examines the MARS2 gene using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology – the gold standard in genetic analysis. The MARS2 gene provides instructions for making a protein essential for mitochondrial function, which are the energy powerhouses of your cells. When this gene has mutations, it can lead to Combined Oxidative Phosphorylation Deficiency Type 25, causing progressive neurological problems and developmental delays.
Our test doesn’t just provide results – it provides understanding. With included genetic counselling, you’ll receive personalised guidance on what your results mean for your family’s health journey.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your child experiences:
- Unexplained developmental delays in infancy or childhood
- Progressive neurological symptoms including muscle weakness
- Family history of mitochondrial disorders
- Unexplained fatigue or exercise intolerance
- Multiple family members with similar neurological symptoms
- Previous inconclusive medical testing for neurological conditions
Early detection can make a significant difference in managing symptoms and planning appropriate care.
