Find Clarity About Your Neurological Health with SCA Comprehensive Testing
When unexplained balance issues, coordination difficulties, or family history of neurological conditions create uncertainty about your health future, finding answers becomes essential. Our SCA Comprehensive Profile Test provides the clarity you deserve through advanced genetic analysis that examines 6 key genes associated with spinocerebellar ataxia. We understand the emotional weight of neurological concerns and provide compassionate, professional testing across South Africa.
Understanding Your SCA Comprehensive Profile Test
This specialised genetic test analyses 6 crucial genes (*ATXN1, *ATXN2, *ATXN3, *ATXN7, *CACNA1A, *PPP2R2B) that play vital roles in neurological function. Using advanced PCR and Fragment Analysis methods, our test provides precise detection of genetic variations associated with spinocerebellar ataxia – a group of inherited neurological disorders affecting coordination and movement.
We make complex genetic information accessible and understandable, ensuring you feel informed and supported throughout the testing process.
Who Should Consider This Important Neurological Test?
This test is particularly relevant if you experience:
- Unexplained balance problems or frequent stumbling
- Coordination difficulties affecting daily activities
- Family history of neurological disorders or ataxia
- Progressive speech changes or swallowing issues
