Understanding Your Genetic Risk for Tuberous Sclerosis Complex
When you’re concerned about tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. This rare genetic condition that causes benign tumours to grow in vital organs like the brain, heart, and kidneys affects families across South Africa. Our Next Generation Sequencing test provides the clarity you need with compassionate, expert care.
What This Test Reveals About Your Health
Tuberous sclerosis complex is caused by mutations in either the TSC1 or TSC2 genes. Our advanced NGS technology examines both genes comprehensively, identifying even subtle genetic changes that traditional testing might miss. This isn’t just a test – it’s a roadmap to understanding your genetic health and making informed decisions for your future.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Screening?
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Unexplained seizures or epilepsy, especially in childhood
- Developmental delays or learning difficulties
- Skin abnormalities like facial angiofibromas or hypomelanotic macules
- Behavioural issues including autism spectrum symptoms
- Family history of tuberous sclerosis or related symptoms
- Cardiac rhabdomyomas detected in infancy
- Renal angiomyolipomas or other organ involvement
Early detection through genetic testing can significantly improve management and quality of life.
Why Early Genetic Detection Matters for South African Families
Knowing your genetic status empowers you to:
- Access targeted treatments and monitoring protocols early
- Make informed family planning decisions
- Reduce anxiety through definitive diagnosis
- Connect with appropriate specialists and support networks
