Understanding Your Risk for Lewy Body Dementia
If you’ve watched loved ones struggle with dementia or worry about your own cognitive health, you’re not alone. Many South Africans carry concerns about their genetic risk for neurological conditions like Lewy body dementia. Our GBA gene susceptibility test provides the clarity you need to understand your genetic predisposition and take control of your brain health journey.
What This Test Reveals About Your Health
The GBA gene plays a crucial role in brain function, and specific variations can increase your susceptibility to Lewy body dementia. This isn’t about predicting your future, but rather understanding your genetic landscape so you can make informed decisions about your health. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your GBA gene with exceptional accuracy, providing insights that were once unimaginable.

This test is particularly valuable if you experience:
- Family history of Lewy body dementia or Parkinson’s disease
- Concerns about memory changes or cognitive function
- Unexplained visual hallucinations or fluctuations in alertness
