Understanding VARS2 Gene Testing: Your Path to Genetic Clarity
When your family faces unexplained neurological symptoms or developmental concerns, the search for answers can feel overwhelming. The VARS2 Gene Test offers South African families a clear path forward, providing definitive answers about Combined Oxidative Phosphorylation Deficiency Type 20 – a rare mitochondrial disorder that affects energy production in cells.
What This Test Reveals About Your Health
The VARS2 gene plays a crucial role in mitochondrial function – the powerhouses of your cells. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to Combined Oxidative Phosphorylation Deficiency Type 20, affecting how your body produces energy. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your VARS2 gene with exceptional accuracy, identifying even the smallest genetic variations that could impact your health.
This isn’t just another test – it’s a comprehensive genetic investigation that provides the clarity families need to make informed healthcare decisions.
Who Should Consider VARS2 Genetic Testing?
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Unexplained neurological symptoms in infancy or childhood
- Developmental delays or regression
- Muscle weakness or poor muscle tone
- Feeding difficulties in infants

- Unexplained metabolic issues
- Progressive neurological decline
Many South African families live with unexplained symptoms for years. This test provides the answers that can transform your approach to healthcare and family planning.
