Understanding Your Neurological Health: TPP1 Gene Spinocerebellar Ataxia Testing
When movement difficulties, balance problems, or coordination challenges affect you or your loved ones, finding clear answers becomes essential for peace of mind. Our TPP1 Gene Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 7 test provides the definitive genetic information South African families need to understand inherited neurological conditions and plan for the future with confidence.
What This Test Reveals About Your Health
The TPP1 gene test examines specific genetic mutations that cause Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 7, an autosomal recessive neurological disorder. This means both parents must carry the gene mutation for the condition to be passed to children. Using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we analyse your DNA with exceptional accuracy to identify these inherited patterns.
This isn’t just a test – it’s a pathway to understanding your genetic blueprint and making empowered health decisions for yourself and future generations.
Is This Test Right for You or Your Family?
Consider this essential genetic testing if you experience:
- Progressive difficulty with balance and coordination
- Family history of movement disorders or ataxia
- Unexplained vision problems alongside movement issues
- Planning for pregnancy with known family neurological conditions
- Diagnostic uncertainty about neurological symptoms
Many South African families find clarity through genetic testing, especially when symptoms appear across generations or when planning for children’s health.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Neurological Health
Understanding your genetic status provides invaluable benefits:
- Peace of Mind: Eliminate uncertainty about inherited conditions
- Proactive Healthcare: Access appropriate neurological care and monitoring
- Family Planning Confidence: Make informed decisions about having children
- Early Intervention: Implement strategies to manage symptoms effectively
- Genetic Counselling: Understand risk patterns for extended family members
Knowledge is power when it comes to managing neurological health across generations.

We provide clear, comprehensive results with professional support:
- Positive Result: Indicates presence of TPP1 gene mutations – our genetic counsellors help you understand implications and next steps
- Negative Result: No detected mutations – provides reassurance about your genetic status
