Understanding Your Genetic Risk for Frontotemporal Dementia
When dementia runs in your family, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. You may worry about your future, your memory, and your ability to care for loved ones. Our PSEN1 Gene Dementia Frontotemporal NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity you need to face these concerns with confidence and take proactive steps for your health.
What This Test Reveals About Your Genetic Health
The PSEN1 gene plays a crucial role in brain health, and specific mutations in this gene are strongly linked to frontotemporal dementia – a condition that affects personality, behaviour, and language abilities. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your DNA with exceptional accuracy to identify these mutations, giving you reliable information about your genetic predisposition.
Unlike general dementia screening, this targeted test focuses specifically on the PSEN1 gene mutations known to cause early-onset frontotemporal dementia, providing you with precise, actionable results.
Is This Test Right for You?
Consider this test if you experience:
- Family history of early-onset dementia (before age 65)
- Relatives diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia
- Concerns about personality changes or language difficulties in family members
- Planning for future health and wanting genetic clarity
- Anxiety about inheriting dementia conditions
Many South Africans with European ancestry may have higher prevalence of PSEN1 mutations, making this test particularly relevant for understanding your unique genetic landscape.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Peace of Mind
Knowing your genetic status empowers you to:
- Make informed lifestyle choices to support brain health
- Participate in early monitoring and potential interventions
- Plan for your future with greater certainty
- Reduce anxiety through knowledge and preparation
- Access appropriate genetic counselling and family planning guidance
Early detection means you’re not waiting for symptoms to appear – you’re taking control of your health journey today.
Understanding Your Results with Professional Support
We understand that genetic test results can be anxiety-provoking. That’s why every test includes comprehensive genetic counselling where our specialists:
- Create a detailed family pedigree to understand inheritance patterns
- Explain your results in clear, understandable language
- Discuss what your results mean for you and your family
- Provide guidance on next steps and available resources
- Offer emotional support throughout the process
Your results will clearly indicate whether PSEN1 mutations were detected and what this means for your dementia risk assessment.
