Understanding Your Genetic Cancer Risk: NRAS Mutation Testing
When facing cancer concerns or treatment decisions, having clear genetic information can provide the peace of mind and direction you need. The NRAS Mutation Codon 12, 13 & 61 Test offers professional genetic analysis that helps identify specific mutations affecting cancer development and treatment response. We understand this can be an anxious time, and we’re here to provide the accurate, reliable information you deserve.
What This Test Detects
The NRAS gene plays a crucial role in regulating cell growth and division. When mutations occur at specific locations (codons 12, 13, and 61), they can lead to uncontrolled cell growth – a hallmark of cancer development. Our test uses advanced PCR and sequencing technology to precisely identify these mutations, providing your healthcare team with valuable information for treatment planning.
Think of this test as a genetic roadmap that helps your doctors understand the specific characteristics of your condition, enabling more targeted and effective treatment approaches.
Who Should Consider This Test
This test is particularly important for individuals experiencing:
- Diagnosis of melanoma, colorectal cancer, or other solid tumours
- Need for targeted therapy selection and treatment planning
- Family history of cancer suggesting potential genetic factors
- Uncertainty about treatment options and response predictions
- Previous inconclusive genetic testing results
If you’re working with an oncologist in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban or Pretoria, this test can provide the genetic clarity needed for informed medical decisions.
Why This Matters for Your Health Journey
