Understanding Your Risk for Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia
If you or your family members experience progressive muscle stiffness, walking difficulties, or have a family history of neurological conditions, you’re not alone. The B4GALNT1 Gene SPG26 test provides the clarity you need to understand your genetic risk and take proactive steps for your neurological health.
What This Test Detects
The B4GALNT1 Gene SPG26 test uses advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify mutations in the B4GALNT1 gene, which is responsible for hereditary spastic paraplegia type 26. This isn’t just a simple DNA test – it’s a comprehensive neurological assessment that examines the specific genetic variations that can lead to progressive muscle stiffness and mobility challenges.
Our test provides definitive answers about whether you carry the genetic markers associated with SPG26, helping you and your healthcare team make informed decisions about your neurological care and family planning.
Who Should Consider This Test
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Progressive muscle stiffness in your legs
- Difficulty walking or changes in gait
- Family history of hereditary spastic paraplegia
- Unexplained neurological symptoms in multiple family members
- Concerns about passing genetic conditions to children
- Early signs of mobility challenges without clear diagnosis
Many South Africans live with undiagnosed neurological conditions for years. Early genetic testing can provide the answers needed to manage symptoms effectively and plan for the future.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Knowing your genetic status for SPG26 provides significant health advantages:
- Proactive Management: Early detection allows for timely interventions and symptom management strategies
- Family Planning Confidence: Understand your risk of passing the condition to future generations
- Personalised Care: Work with neurologists to create targeted treatment plans
- Peace of Mind: Reduce uncertainty and anxiety about your neurological health
- Cost Savings: Early intervention can prevent more expensive treatments later
For many patients, receiving a definitive diagnosis brings relief and direction after years of uncertainty.
