Find Answers for Muscle Weakness and Joint Contractures
When you’re experiencing progressive muscle weakness, joint stiffness, or cardiac concerns, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our SYNE1 Gene Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy type 4 test provides the clarity you need to understand your genetic health and plan for the future with confidence.
Understanding Your SYNE1 Gene Test
This advanced genetic test examines the SYNE1 gene using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify mutations that cause Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy type 4. Unlike basic genetic screening, our comprehensive analysis provides definitive answers about your genetic predisposition to this progressive neuromuscular condition.
We use state-of-the-art laboratory techniques to ensure 99.9% accuracy in detecting even the most subtle genetic variations. Your test includes a complete genetic counselling session where our specialists help create a detailed family pedigree chart, giving you complete context about your genetic inheritance patterns.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is essential if you’re experiencing:
- Progressive muscle weakness in shoulders, upper arms, or calves
- Joint contractures (stiffness) in elbows, ankles, or neck
- Cardiac conduction abnormalities or heart rhythm issues
- Family history of muscular dystrophy or neuromuscular disorders
- Unexplained difficulty walking or climbing stairs
- Early-onset muscle symptoms before age 20
Many South Africans with these symptoms spend years searching for answers. Our test provides the definitive diagnosis needed to access appropriate care and support.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Identifying Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy type 4 early can significantly improve your quality of life. With early diagnosis, you can:
