Find Clarity About Mitochondrial Health with TSFM Gene Testing
When you’re worried about unexplained neurological symptoms or developmental concerns in your family, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. Our TSFM Gene Combined Oxidative Phosphorylation Deficiency Type 3 test provides the answers you need to move forward with confidence. This specialised genetic test helps identify mutations that affect mitochondrial function, giving you and your healthcare provider the information needed to make informed decisions about your health journey.
Understanding Your TSFM Gene Test
The TSFM gene plays a vital role in mitochondrial protein synthesis – the energy powerhouses of your cells. When this gene contains mutations, it can lead to Combined Oxidative Phosphorylation Deficiency Type 3, a condition that affects how your body produces energy. Our test uses advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to examine your TSFM gene with exceptional accuracy, detecting even subtle genetic variations that might be missed by other methods.
Think of this test as a comprehensive health investigation that looks at the genetic blueprint responsible for your cellular energy production. By understanding your genetic makeup, you can work with your healthcare team to develop personalised approaches to managing your health.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your loved ones experience:
- Unexplained developmental delays in childhood
- Progressive muscle weakness or fatigue
- Neurological symptoms without clear diagnosis
- Family history of mitochondrial disorders
- Unexplained metabolic issues
- Concerns about genetic conditions for family planning
Many South African families have found answers through genetic testing when traditional diagnostic approaches haven’t provided clarity. If you’ve been searching for explanations about persistent health concerns, this test could provide the breakthrough you need.
Why This Test Matters for Your Health Journey
