Understanding Your Neurological Health: MT-TL1 MELAS Syndrome Genetic Testing
When unexplained symptoms like muscle weakness, seizures, or developmental delays affect you or your loved ones, finding answers becomes your top priority. Our MT-TL1 MELAS Syndrome Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity you need to understand your genetic health and make informed decisions about your care.
What This Test Reveals About Your Health
The MT-TL1 gene plays a crucial role in mitochondrial function, and mutations in this gene can lead to MELAS syndrome – a complex mitochondrial disorder that affects energy production throughout your body. Using cutting-edge Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, our test examines your MT-TL1 gene with exceptional accuracy, identifying specific mutations that could be causing your symptoms.
This isn’t just a laboratory procedure – it’s a comprehensive health assessment that includes professional genetic counselling to help you understand your family’s health patterns and what your results mean for your future wellbeing.
Is This Test Right for You?
Consider this test if you or your family members experience:
- Unexplained muscle weakness or exercise intolerance
- Recurrent seizures or stroke-like episodes
- Developmental delays in children
- Vision or hearing problems without clear cause
- Family history of mitochondrial disorders
- Unexplained fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest
- Multiple neurological symptoms with no clear diagnosis
Many South African families have found answers through genetic testing when traditional diagnostic methods provided incomplete explanations for their health challenges.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Getting a definitive diagnosis through genetic testing can transform your healthcare journey. With clear results, you can:
- Receive targeted treatments and management strategies
- Make informed family planning decisions
- Reduce unnecessary medical tests and procedures

- Access specialised care for mitochondrial disorders
Early detection means earlier intervention, potentially slowing disease progression and improving quality of life for you and your family.
