Find Clarity About Inherited Neurological Conditions
When neurological symptoms appear or family history raises concerns, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our ARSA Gene Metachromatic Leukodystrophy NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the answers you need to make informed decisions about your health and future.
Understanding Your Test
This advanced genetic test examines the ARSA gene using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology – the gold standard in genetic analysis. The ARSA gene produces an enzyme that breaks down specific fats in the body. When this gene has mutations, it can lead to Metachromatic Leukodystrophy, a rare inherited disorder that affects the nervous system.
Our test doesn’t just look for common mutations – it sequences the entire ARSA gene to identify even rare variations that could impact your health.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Unexplained neurological symptoms in childhood or adulthood
- Progressive loss of motor skills or coordination
- Behavioural changes or cognitive decline
- Muscle weakness or stiffness
- Family history of leukodystrophy or similar conditions
- Planning for pregnancy with known family risk factors
Early detection through genetic testing can provide crucial information for managing symptoms and planning treatment options.
Why This Matters for Your Health
Getting tested offers significant benefits:
- Peace of Mind: Eliminate uncertainty about your genetic risk
- Early Intervention: Identify conditions before severe symptoms develop
- Family Planning: Make informed decisions about having children
- Treatment Guidance: Work with your doctor on targeted management plans
- Genetic Counselling: Understand what your results mean for you and your family
