Find Clarity About Mandibuloacral Dysplasia and Lipodystrophy
When you’re concerned about unusual body fat distribution, skeletal changes, or suspect a genetic condition affecting your family, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our ZMPSTE24 gene test provides the definitive answers you need to move forward with confidence in your healthcare journey.
Understanding Your ZMPSTE24 Genetic Test
This advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) test examines the ZMPSTE24 gene, which plays a crucial role in processing proteins essential for normal cell structure and function. When this gene isn’t working properly, it can lead to mandibuloacral dysplasia with type B lipodystrophy – a condition affecting bone development and fat distribution throughout the body.
Our test doesn’t just give you results; it provides clarity. By identifying specific genetic variations, we help you and your healthcare team understand the underlying cause of symptoms and create a targeted management plan.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test may be right for you if you or your family members experience:
- Progressive loss of fat from arms, legs, and face
- Unusual skeletal features including underdeveloped jaw and collarbones
- Skin changes or hardening
- Family history of similar symptoms
- Unexplained metabolic issues or insulin resistance
- Delayed diagnosis despite multiple medical consultations
Many South Africans spend years seeking answers for these complex symptoms. Our test can provide the clarity needed to end this diagnostic journey.
