Find Answers for Movement Disorders with TAF1 Gene DYT3 Testing
When unexplained muscle contractions, twisting movements, or coordination difficulties disrupt your daily life, finding answers becomes essential. The TAF1 Gene DYT3 NGS Genetic DNA Test offers South African families the clarity they need to understand inherited movement disorders and take control of their health journey.
Understanding Your TAF1 Gene DYT3 Test
This advanced genetic test specifically examines the TAF1 gene using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology – the most accurate method available for detecting mutations that cause DYT3 dystonia. DYT3 is an inherited movement disorder characterized by involuntary muscle contractions and abnormal postures that can significantly impact quality of life.
Our testing process begins with comprehensive genetic counselling, where our specialists help map your family’s health history to identify patterns and provide personalised guidance throughout your testing journey.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Involuntary muscle contractions or spasms
- Twisting movements affecting limbs or torso
- Difficulty with coordination and fine motor skills
- Family history of movement disorders or dystonia
- Progressive worsening of movement symptoms
- Onset of symptoms in childhood or early adulthood
If you have concerns about inherited movement conditions in your family, this test provides the answers you need for proper management and treatment planning.
