Find Answers for Unexplained Neurological Symptoms with TARS2 Gene Testing
When your child or family member experiences developmental delays, muscle weakness, or neurological symptoms without clear cause, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our TARS2 Gene Test provides the clarity you need to understand Combined Oxidative Phosphorylation Deficiency Type 21 – a serious mitochondrial disorder that affects how your body produces energy at the cellular level.
Understanding the TARS2 Gene Test
This advanced genetic test examines your TARS2 gene using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify mutations that cause Combined Oxidative Phosphorylation Deficiency Type 21. Think of it as reading your body’s instruction manual to find the specific paragraph that might be causing energy production problems in your cells. Mitochondria are your body’s power plants, and when they don’t work properly due to genetic variations, it can affect multiple systems – particularly the brain and muscles.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is especially important if you or your family members experience:
- Unexplained developmental delays in infants or children
- Progressive neurological symptoms that doctors can’t explain
- Muscle weakness or poor muscle tone (hypotonia)
- Family history of similar neurological conditions
- Multiple unexplained health issues affecting different body systems
- Previous normal test results despite ongoing symptoms
Many South African families have found answers through genetic testing when other medical investigations provided limited information.
