Find Answers for Unexplained Muscle Weakness and Exercise Intolerance
When your body doesn’t respond to exercise the way it should, when muscle pain becomes your constant companion, or when fatigue overwhelms your daily life – it’s time to seek answers. Our PGAM2 Gene Glycogen Storage Disease Type 10 test provides the clarity you deserve, helping you understand your body’s unique challenges and take control of your health journey.
Understanding Your PGAM2 Gene Test
Glycogen Storage Disease Type 10 is a rare genetic condition that affects how your body stores and uses energy. The PGAM2 gene provides instructions for making an enzyme called phosphoglycerate mutase, which is essential for energy production in muscle cells. When this gene has mutations, it can lead to exercise intolerance, muscle pain, and weakness that often goes undiagnosed for years.
Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your PGAM2 gene with exceptional accuracy, identifying even the smallest genetic variations that could be affecting your health. This isn’t just a test – it’s a pathway to understanding your body’s unique needs.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you experience any of these symptoms, this test could provide life-changing answers:
- Unexplained muscle pain or cramping during or after exercise
- Exercise intolerance that limits your daily activities
- Muscle weakness that doesn’t improve with rest
- Family history of similar symptoms or diagnosed glycogen storage diseases
- Fatigue that seems disproportionate to your activity level
- Dark-coloured urine after exercise (myoglobinuria)
Many South Africans struggle with these symptoms without understanding their cause. Early detection can prevent years of frustration and misdiagnosis.
