Find Clarity About Your Parkinson’s Genetic Risk
We understand the worry that comes with Parkinson’s disease in your family. That nagging uncertainty about whether you might develop symptoms, the concern for your children’s future, the questions that keep you awake at night. Our VPS35 Gene PARK17 Parkinson’s NGS Genetic DNA Test is designed to provide the answers you need, delivered with the compassion and expertise you deserve.
Understanding Your VPS35 Gene Test
The VPS35 gene plays a crucial role in your body’s cellular recycling system. When this gene has specific changes (mutations), it can increase your risk of developing Parkinson’s disease, particularly the PARK17 type. Our test doesn’t just look for one specific mutation – it examines the entire VPS35 gene using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, the most advanced genetic testing available today.
Think of it as reading every single word in an important instruction manual rather than just checking a few pages. This comprehensive approach ensures we don’t miss anything that could be important for your health.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test might be right for you if:
- You have a family history of Parkinson’s disease, especially if multiple relatives are affected
- You’re experiencing early symptoms like tremors, stiffness, or balance issues
- You want to understand your genetic risk before starting a family
- You have a known VPS35 mutation in your family and want confirmation
- You’re seeking peace of mind about your neurological health
Many of our patients tell us that even when the results aren’t what they hoped for, having clarity allows them to plan, prepare, and take proactive steps for their health.
Why This Matters for Your Health Journey
Knowledge is power when it comes to Parkinson’s disease. Understanding your genetic risk can:
- Provide early detection opportunities for better management
- Help you make informed decisions about family planning
- Allow for proactive lifestyle changes that may delay symptom onset
- Connect you with appropriate specialists and support networks
- Reduce the anxiety of uncertainty and empower you with facts
One of our Johannesburg patients shared: “Knowing my genetic status gave me back control. I could plan my future with confidence rather than fear.”
