Find Answers for Unexplained Muscle Weakness with CHAT Gene Testing
When your muscles don’t work as they should, and everyday activities become challenging, it’s natural to feel concerned and uncertain. Our CHAT Gene Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity you need to understand the genetic basis of neuromuscular symptoms affecting you or your loved ones.
Understanding Your CHAT Gene Test
This advanced genetic test examines the CHAT gene, which plays a crucial role in how your nerves communicate with your muscles. When this gene has mutations, it can lead to congenital myasthenic syndrome – a condition that affects muscle strength and endurance. Using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we provide the most accurate analysis available, giving you reliable answers about your genetic health.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you or your child experience any of these symptoms, this test could provide valuable insights:
- Unexplained muscle weakness that worsens with activity
- Difficulty with breathing, especially during physical exertion
- Drooping eyelids or facial weakness
- Fatigue that seems disproportionate to activity levels
- Family history of similar neuromuscular conditions
- Delayed motor development in infants and children
Many South African families have found answers through genetic testing, helping them move forward with targeted treatment plans.
