Find Clarity About Muscle-Eye-Brain Disease in Your Family
When you notice unexplained muscle weakness, vision challenges, or developmental concerns in your loved ones, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our POMK Gene Muscle-Eye-Brain Disease Genetic Test provides the definitive answers South African families need to understand their genetic health and plan for the future with confidence.
Understanding Your POMK Genetic Test
This specialised test examines the POMK gene using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology – the gold standard in genetic analysis. The POMK gene plays a crucial role in muscle and brain development, and mutations in this gene can lead to muscle-eye-brain disease, a condition that affects multiple body systems. Our test doesn’t just provide results; it gives you clarity about your family’s genetic blueprint.
Using a simple blood sample or DNA extraction, we analyse your genetic code with precision accuracy. The process is straightforward, professional, and designed to give you peace of mind about complex health concerns.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Unexplained muscle weakness or poor muscle tone from infancy
- Vision problems including severe near-sightedness or retinal issues
- Developmental delays in walking, talking, or cognitive skills
- Family history of neurological conditions affecting muscles and eyes
- Concerns about passing genetic conditions to children
- Unexplained seizures or brain abnormalities
Many South African families find that understanding their genetic risk brings relief from uncertainty and empowers better healthcare decisions.
