Find Answers for Unexplained Neurological Symptoms
When you’re experiencing mysterious muscle weakness, developmental delays, or neurological symptoms that doctors can’t explain, it can feel overwhelming and frightening. The MT-TL2 Gene Encephalomyopathy test provides the clarity you’ve been searching for, using cutting-edge genetic technology to identify mitochondrial disorders that affect both brain and muscle function.
Understanding Your MT-TL2 Gene Test
This specialised test examines your mitochondrial DNA for mutations in the MT-TL2 gene, which plays a crucial role in energy production within your cells. When this gene isn’t working properly, it can lead to mitochondrial encephalomyopathy – a condition that affects both your brain (encephalo-) and muscles (-myopathy). Our Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology provides the most accurate analysis available, giving you definitive answers about your genetic health.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is essential if you or your loved one experiences:
- Progressive muscle weakness or fatigue
- Seizures or epilepsy that’s difficult to control
- Developmental delays in children
- Vision or hearing problems
- Family history of mitochondrial disorders
- Unexplained neurological symptoms
- Exercise intolerance or easy fatigability
Many South African families have found answers through this test, ending years of uncertainty about their health concerns.
