Understanding Your Genetic Risk for Juvenile-Onset Parkinson’s Disease
When movement disorders appear in young family members, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. The DNAJC6 Gene PARK19 test provides the clarity South African families need to understand their genetic risk for juvenile-onset Parkinson’s disease. Our compassionate approach combines cutting-edge science with personalised care to guide you through this important health journey.
What This Test Reveals About Your Health
The DNAJC6 gene plays a crucial role in brain function, and specific mutations can lead to Parkinson’s disease developing at a young age. Our Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines this gene with exceptional accuracy, identifying mutations that traditional methods might miss. This isn’t just a test – it’s a roadmap to understanding your family’s neurological health.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Tremors or shaking that began before age 40
- Family history of early-onset movement disorders
- Stiffness or slow movement in younger family members
- Balance problems appearing in adolescence or young adulthood
- Multiple family members with Parkinson’s-like symptoms
Early detection through genetic testing can provide valuable time for proactive health management.
Why Genetic Testing Matters for Your Family’s Future
Understanding your DNAJC6 status offers profound benefits:
- Early Intervention Opportunities: Identify risk before symptoms become severe
- Family Planning Guidance: Make informed decisions about starting a family
- Personalised Monitoring: Create targeted health surveillance plans
- Peace of Mind: Replace uncertainty with clear, actionable information
- Treatment Planning: Work with neurologists on proactive management strategies
