Find Clarity in Your Epilepsy Journey with SCN3A Genetic Testing
Living with unexplained seizures or epilepsy can feel like navigating a maze without a map. The uncertainty, the fear, the unanswered questions – we understand how overwhelming this journey can be. Our SCN3A Gene Epilepsy Genetic Test provides the clarity and direction you’ve been searching for, using the most advanced genetic technology available to South African patients.
Understanding Your SCN3A Genetic Test
The SCN3A gene plays a crucial role in how your brain cells communicate. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to focal epilepsy – a condition where seizures begin in specific areas of the brain. Our Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your DNA with incredible precision, identifying even the smallest genetic variations that could be contributing to your epilepsy symptoms.
This isn’t just another test – it’s a comprehensive investigation into the root cause of your neurological health concerns, giving you and your neurologist the information needed to make informed treatment decisions.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test could be life-changing if you or your loved one experiences:
- Unexplained focal seizures that start in one part of the brain
- Family history of epilepsy or neurological conditions
- Seizures that haven’t responded well to standard treatments
- Early-onset epilepsy in childhood or adolescence
- Multiple family members with similar seizure patterns
- Concerns about passing epilepsy risk to children
Many South African families have found answers through genetic testing, helping them break cycles of uncertainty and fear.
Why This Test Matters for Your Health Journey
Getting the right diagnosis is the first step toward effective treatment. With SCN3A genetic testing, you can:
- Receive Targeted Treatment: Understand which medications are most likely to work for your specific genetic profile
- Reduce Trial and Error: Minimize the frustrating process of trying multiple medications
- Plan for the Future: Make informed family planning decisions with genetic counselling
- Find Community: Connect with others who share your specific genetic condition
- Peace of Mind: Finally understand the ‘why’ behind your epilepsy
Understanding Your Test Results
We know waiting for genetic test results can be anxiety-provoking. That’s why we provide clear, compassionate explanations of your findings:
- Positive Result: We’ll explain exactly what the mutation means for your health and connect you with resources and treatment options
- Negative Result: We’ll discuss what this means for your epilepsy management and next steps
- Uncertain Findings: Some genetic variations require further study – we’ll guide you through what this means
Every result comes with genetic counselling support to ensure you fully understand your report and its implications.
