Find Answers for Unexplained Nerve Symptoms with ATL1 Gene Testing
When numbness, tingling, or burning sensations in your hands and feet disrupt your daily life, it’s natural to feel concerned and uncertain. The ATL1 Gene Neuropathy Hereditary Sensory Type 1D NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity you need to understand your neurological health and take proactive steps toward better management.
Understanding Your ATL1 Gene Neuropathy Test
This advanced genetic test examines the ATL1 gene using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify mutations that cause hereditary sensory neuropathy type 1D. This condition affects the peripheral nerves, leading to progressive sensory loss, particularly in the hands and feet. Our test provides highly accurate results that can confirm or rule out this specific genetic condition, giving you and your healthcare provider the information needed for proper diagnosis and management.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you experience any of these symptoms, this test could provide valuable insights:
- Progressive numbness or tingling in hands and feet
- Burning or shooting pain in extremities
- Reduced ability to feel temperature changes
- Family history of similar neurological symptoms
- Unexplained balance problems or coordination issues
- Foot deformities or recurrent injuries due to reduced sensation
Early testing is particularly important if you have relatives diagnosed with hereditary neuropathies or if you’re planning a family and want to understand potential genetic risks.
