Understanding Your Neurological Health Journey
When unexplained balance problems, coordination difficulties, or unusual eye movements begin affecting your daily life, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. We understand the emotional toll of not knowing what’s causing these neurological symptoms. Our PIK3R5 Gene Ataxia-Oculomotor Apraxia Type 3 NGS Genetic DNA Test is designed to provide the answers you need with compassion and clinical excellence.
What This Test Detects
This advanced genetic test specifically examines the PIK3R5 gene for mutations associated with Ataxia-Oculomotor Apraxia Type 3, a rare neurological condition that affects coordination and eye movement control. Using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we analyze your DNA with 99.9% accuracy to identify any genetic variations that may be contributing to your symptoms.
