Find Answers for Unexplained Neurological Symptoms
When you’re experiencing progressive hearing loss, vision problems, or muscle weakness without clear cause, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our SLC52A2 gene test provides the clarity you need to understand your neurological health and take proactive steps toward better management of your condition.
Understanding the SLC52A2 Gene Test
This advanced genetic test examines the SLC52A2 gene, which plays a crucial role in transporting riboflavin (vitamin B2) throughout your body. When this gene contains mutations, it can lead to Brown-Vialetto-Van Laere syndrome type 2 – a rare neurological disorder that progressively affects multiple systems in your body.
Using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we analyse your DNA with exceptional precision to identify any genetic variations that might be causing your symptoms. This isn’t just a test – it’s a pathway to understanding your body’s unique genetic blueprint.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you’re experiencing:
- Progressive hearing loss, especially in childhood or young adulthood
- Vision problems including optic atrophy or blurred vision
- Muscle weakness or difficulty with coordination
- Breathing difficulties or respiratory muscle weakness
- Family history of similar neurological symptoms
- Unexplained developmental delays in children
If you’ve been searching for answers about these symptoms, this test could provide the missing piece to your health puzzle.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Getting a definitive diagnosis through genetic testing offers multiple life-changing benefits:
- Peace of Mind: End the uncertainty and anxiety of not knowing what’s causing your symptoms
- Personalised Treatment: Guide your healthcare team in developing targeted treatment strategies
- Family Planning: Understand inheritance patterns for future family decisions
- Early Intervention: Begin appropriate management strategies before symptoms progress
- Accurate Prognosis: Understand what to expect and plan accordingly
Many patients report feeling empowered and relieved once they have a clear diagnosis, even when facing challenging health conditions.
