EPM2A
EPM2A is a gene that encodes laforin, a phosphatase enzyme involved in glycogen metabolism. Laforin plays a crucial role in preventing the accumulation of abnormal glycogen deposits known as Lafora bodies, which are toxic to neurons. Mutations in EPM2A cause Lafora disease, a rare and fatal form of progressive myoclonic epilepsy. This underscores the critical role of EPM2A in maintaining neuronal health through metabolic regulation.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

Absolutely perfect, results came after few days and finally after a lots of times visited GP, we finally know why my son has eczema - he is allergy to carrot. Thanks a lot.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
