Find Clarity About Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease with MPZ Gene Testing
When you’re experiencing unexplained muscle weakness, foot deformities, or balance issues, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. Our MPZ Full Length Gene Sequence Analysis provides the definitive answers you need to understand your neurological health and plan for the future with confidence.
Understanding Your MPZ Gene Test
The MPZ gene produces myelin protein zero, which is essential for the protective coating around your nerves. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT), a hereditary neurological condition affecting peripheral nerves. Our comprehensive analysis examines the entire MPZ gene sequence to identify any abnormalities that could be causing your symptoms.
Using advanced Sanger Sequencing technology, we provide 99.9% accurate results that your healthcare provider can use to confirm or rule out CMT type 1B. This isn’t just a test – it’s a pathway to understanding your body and taking control of your health journey.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This genetic analysis is particularly important if you experience:
- Progressive muscle weakness in feet, legs, hands, or arms
- High foot arches or hammer toes
- Difficulty with balance and frequent tripping
- Reduced sensation in extremities
- Family history of neurological conditions
- Unexplained walking difficulties or foot deformities
If you’ve been searching for answers about these symptoms, genetic testing can provide the clarity needed for proper diagnosis and management.
