Find Clarity About Dejerine-Sottas Disease with Advanced Genetic Testing
When you’re worried about neurological symptoms or have a family history of nerve disorders, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our MPZ Gene Dejerine-Sottas Disease NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the answers you need to move forward with confidence. Using cutting-edge technology and supported by expert genetic counselling, we help South African families understand their genetic health and make informed decisions.
Understanding Your MPZ Gene Test
Dejerine-Sottas disease is a rare inherited neurological condition that affects the peripheral nerves, causing muscle weakness, sensory loss, and mobility challenges. The MPZ gene provides instructions for making myelin protein zero, which is essential for the proper functioning of nerve cells. When mutations occur in this gene, it disrupts nerve signal transmission, leading to the symptoms of Dejerine-Sottas disease.
Our Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your MPZ gene with exceptional accuracy, identifying even subtle genetic variations that might be missed by conventional testing methods. This comprehensive approach ensures you receive the most reliable results possible.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Progressive muscle weakness in legs and arms
- Difficulty walking or frequent tripping
- Reduced sensation in hands and feet
- Foot deformities or high arches
- Family history of neurological disorders
- Unexplained nerve conduction abnormalities
- Concerns about passing genetic conditions to children
Many South Africans with these symptoms have found clarity and direction through genetic testing, allowing them to better manage their health journey.
