Find Answers for Progressive Myoclonic Epilepsy with PRICKLE2 Gene Testing
When seizures and muscle jerks disrupt your life without clear explanation, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. Progressive myoclonic epilepsy type 5, caused by PRICKLE2 gene mutations, often begins in childhood and worsens over time, affecting daily activities and quality of life. At Oracle Genomics, we understand the emotional toll of unexplained neurological symptoms and provide the genetic clarity you deserve.
Understanding Your PRICKLE2 Epilepsy Genetic Test
Our advanced NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) genetic test specifically examines the PRICKLE2 gene for mutations that cause progressive myoclonic epilepsy type 5. This isn’t just another epilepsy test – it’s a targeted investigation that looks for the specific genetic changes responsible for this particular form of epilepsy that typically involves worsening muscle jerks and seizures.
The test uses cutting-edge technology to sequence your DNA with exceptional accuracy, providing reliable results that can guide treatment decisions and family planning.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test may be right for you or your child if you experience:
- Progressive myoclonic jerks (sudden, brief muscle twitches) that worsen over time
- Seizures that don’t respond well to standard epilepsy medications
- Developmental delays or regression alongside seizure activity
- A family history of similar neurological symptoms
- Unexplained ataxia (balance and coordination problems)
- Multiple seizure types that have been difficult to classify
Many South African families have found life-changing answers through genetic testing, helping them understand the root cause of symptoms that have puzzled doctors for years.
Why Early Genetic Testing Matters for Your Health
Getting a precise genetic diagnosis offers more than just answers – it provides direction:
- Personalised Treatment: Knowing the specific genetic cause helps neurologists tailor medication and management strategies
- Family Planning Insights: Understand inheritance patterns for future family decisions
- End Diagnostic Uncertainty: Stop the cycle of endless tests and specialist visits
- Connect with Support: Join specific patient communities and access targeted resources
- Monitor Progression: Better understand what to expect and how to prepare
Early detection through genetic testing can significantly improve quality of life and treatment outcomes.
