Understanding Hereditary Neurological Conditions in South Africa
When neurological symptoms begin affecting your coordination, balance, or nerve function, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Many South African families face the challenge of hereditary neurological conditions without clear answers. Our TDP1 Gene Spinocerebellar Ataxia with Axonal Neuropathy test provides the clarity you need to make informed health decisions for yourself and your family.
What This Test Detects
This advanced genetic test identifies mutations in the TDP1 gene responsible for autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia with axonal neuropathy. Using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we analyse your DNA to detect specific genetic variations that cause progressive neurological deterioration affecting both the cerebellum and peripheral nerves.
Who Should Consider This Test
This test is particularly important if you or family members experience:
- Progressive difficulty with coordination and balance
- Muscle weakness or numbness in limbs
- Family history of similar neurological symptoms
- Early-onset movement disorders
- Concerns about passing genetic conditions to children
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Identifying TDP1 gene mutations early provides significant benefits:
- Enables proactive symptom management strategies
- Informs family planning decisions
- Provides clarity for unexplained neurological symptoms
- Connects you with appropriate neurological specialists
- Reduces diagnostic uncertainty and anxiety
Understanding Your Results
Our comprehensive report provides clear, actionable information about your genetic status. Positive results indicate the presence of TDP1 gene mutations, while negative results provide reassurance. All results include genetic counselling recommendations to help you understand the implications for your health and family.
