Find Clarity About Unverricht-Lundborg Disease
When unexplained seizures, muscle twitches, or balance issues disrupt your life, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. You deserve answers, and our CSTB Gene Unverricht-Lundborg Disease NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity you need to move forward with confidence.
Many South Africans live with neurological symptoms without understanding their cause. The fear of passing on genetic conditions to children or watching loved ones struggle with similar symptoms creates immense emotional burden. We understand this journey, and we’re here to provide the medical certainty that can transform your family’s health future.
Understanding Your CSTB Gene Test
This advanced genetic test examines your CSTB gene using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology – the gold standard in genetic testing. The CSTB gene produces a protein called cystatin B, which plays a crucial role in protecting your brain cells. When this gene has mutations, it can lead to Unverricht-Lundborg disease, a progressive neurological condition that typically begins in childhood or adolescence.
Think of this test as a detailed map of your genetic blueprint. Unlike basic screenings, our NGS technology provides comprehensive analysis of your entire CSTB gene, ensuring no important information is missed. This level of detail gives you and your healthcare team the complete picture needed for accurate diagnosis and proper management.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Unexplained seizures or epilepsy that began in childhood
- Progressive muscle twitching (myoclonus) that worsens over time
- Balance and coordination difficulties
- Family history of similar neurological symptoms
- Concerns about passing genetic conditions to children
- Unexplained developmental delays in children
Many patients tell us they’ve spent years visiting multiple doctors without getting clear answers. If this sounds familiar, our genetic test could provide the breakthrough you’ve been searching for.
