Find Clarity About Muscle Weakness and Kidney Health Concerns
When you’re worried about unexplained muscle weakness or recurrent kidney stones in your family, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our PREPL Gene Hypotonia-Cystinuria Syndrome NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the answers you need to understand your genetic health and make informed decisions for your family’s wellbeing.
Understanding the PREPL Gene Test
This advanced genetic test examines the PREPL gene using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify mutations that cause hypotonia-cystinuria syndrome. This rare genetic disorder affects both muscle tone (hypotonia) and kidney function, leading to cystinuria – a condition where cystine crystals form kidney stones.
The test is designed to be comprehensive and accurate, providing you with reliable results that can guide your healthcare decisions and family planning.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Unexplained muscle weakness or poor muscle tone from infancy
- Recurrent kidney stones, especially in childhood
- Family history of hypotonia or cystinuria
- Developmental delays alongside muscle weakness
- Multiple family members with kidney stone problems
Early detection can help manage symptoms more effectively and prevent complications.

Getting tested provides several crucial benefits:
- Peace of Mind: Eliminate uncertainty about your genetic status
