Find Answers for Your Debilitating Migraines
When migraines come with weakness, numbness, or temporary paralysis on one side of your body, it’s more than just a headache – it’s a frightening experience that disrupts your entire life. If you’ve been struggling with these severe symptoms and suspect they might run in your family, our ATP1A2 Gene Familial Hemiplegic Migraine Type 2 test can provide the answers you’ve been searching for.
Understanding Your Test: Clarity Through Advanced Technology
This specialised genetic test examines the ATP1A2 gene using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology – the most advanced method available for genetic analysis. The test specifically looks for mutations that cause Familial Hemiplegic Migraine Type 2, a rare but serious form of migraine that can include temporary paralysis, visual disturbances, and speech difficulties.
What makes our approach different is the comprehensive care that accompanies your testing. Every patient receives genetic counselling before testing to create a detailed family history, ensuring we understand your complete health picture.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Migraines accompanied by weakness or paralysis on one side of your body
- Family members with similar migraine patterns
- Visual disturbances like aura before or during migraines
- Speech difficulties or confusion during migraine attacks
- Symptoms that began in childhood or adolescence
- Migraines that don’t respond well to standard treatments
If multiple family members share these symptoms, genetic testing becomes even more crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
