Find Clarity About Hereditary Neurological Conditions
When neurological symptoms run in your family, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our AFG3L2 gene test provides the answers you need about spinocerebellar ataxia type 28 – a condition that can affect coordination, balance, and movement across generations. Many South African families have lived with unanswered questions about their genetic health for years. Today, you can take the first step toward understanding your family’s neurological patterns and making informed health decisions.
Understanding Your AFG3L2 Gene Test
This specialised genetic test examines the AFG3L2 gene using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify mutations associated with spinocerebellar ataxia type 28. This is an autosomal dominant condition, meaning if one parent carries the gene mutation, there’s a 50% chance their children could inherit it. Our test provides 99.9% accuracy in detecting these genetic variations, giving you reliable information about your neurological health inheritance patterns.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Progressive coordination difficulties and balance problems
- Family history of similar neurological symptoms across generations
- Unsteady gait or difficulty with fine motor skills
- Speech changes or swallowing difficulties
- Eye movement abnormalities
- Concerns about passing neurological conditions to children
If multiple family members show similar symptoms, genetic testing can provide crucial insights into your family’s health patterns.

Understanding your genetic status empowers you to:
- Make informed family planning decisions
