Find Answers for Nocturnal Seizures with CHRNA4 Genetic Testing
Waking up to unexplained nighttime episodes can leave you feeling confused, frightened, and searching for answers. If you or a loved one experiences sudden movements, strange sensations, or unusual behaviours during sleep, our CHRNA4 Gene Epilepsy Nocturnal Frontal Lobe Type 1 test provides the clarity you need. We understand the emotional toll of living with undiagnosed nocturnal seizures, and we’re here to help you find the answers that lead to proper management and peace of mind.
Understanding Your CHRNA4 Epilepsy Test
This specialised genetic test examines the CHRNA4 gene using advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify mutations that cause nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy type 1. Unlike standard epilepsy tests, our analysis specifically targets the genetic root of your nighttime symptoms, providing precise information that helps your neurologist develop the most effective treatment plan for your unique condition.
