Find Clarity for Progressive Eye Muscle Weakness
When you notice progressive weakness in your eye muscles or face unexplained vision challenges, it’s natural to feel concerned and uncertain. Our RRM2B gene test provides the definitive answers you need to understand your genetic health and take control of your wellbeing. For families across South Africa dealing with mitochondrial disorders, this test offers hope and clarity.
Understanding Your RRM2B Gene Test
The RRM2B gene test uses advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to detect mutations associated with progressive external ophthalmoplegia with mitochondrial deletions type 5. This autosomal dominant condition means that if one parent carries the gene mutation, there’s a 50% chance of passing it to each child. Our test examines your genetic blueprint to identify these specific changes, providing you with accurate, reliable results you can trust.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Progressive weakness of eye muscles affecting movement
- Drooping eyelids (ptosis) that worsens over time
- Family history of mitochondrial disorders
- Unexplained muscle weakness or fatigue
- Concerns about passing genetic conditions to children
Many South Africans in Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban have found answers through this testing, helping them make informed decisions about their health and family planning.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Getting tested early provides significant benefits:
- Peace of Mind: Eliminate uncertainty about your genetic status
- Family Planning: Make informed decisions about having children
- Early Intervention: Access appropriate medical care and monitoring
- Genetic Counselling: Understand inheritance patterns and risks
- Treatment Planning: Work with neurologists to manage symptoms effectively
