Understanding Your Genetic Risk for Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease
When neurological conditions run in families, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our PRNP Gene Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity you need to understand your genetic risk and make informed decisions about your neurological health. We understand the anxiety that comes with potential hereditary conditions, which is why we’ve created a testing process that prioritises your peace of mind and emotional wellbeing.
What This Test Detects
The PRNP gene test examines your DNA for specific mutations associated with inherited forms of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). Using advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we analyse the PRNP gene to identify any genetic variations that may increase your risk of developing this rare neurological condition. This isn’t just about getting results – it’s about understanding your genetic blueprint and what it means for your long-term health.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Family history of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease or similar neurological conditions
- Unexplained neurological symptoms that concern you
- Planning for family and wanting to understand genetic risks
- Anxiety about potential hereditary conditions affecting brain health
- Multiple family members with dementia or neurological decline
Many South Africans with family histories of neurological conditions find peace of mind through genetic testing, allowing them to make proactive health decisions.

Understanding your genetic risk for Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease provides several crucial benefits:
- Early Awareness: Knowledge of genetic risk factors allows for proactive health monitoring
