Understanding Your Genetic Risk for Schizophrenia
If you’ve been worrying about schizophrenia running in your family or noticing concerning symptoms in yourself or loved ones, you’re not alone. Many South Africans carry the weight of mental health concerns without clear answers. Our CALR Gene Schizophrenia Genetic DNA Test provides the scientific clarity you need to understand your genetic predisposition and take proactive steps for your mental wellbeing.
What This Test Reveals About Your Health
The CALR gene plays a crucial role in brain development and function. When specific mutations occur in this gene, they can increase susceptibility to schizophrenia. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your CALR gene with exceptional accuracy, identifying mutations that may contribute to schizophrenia risk. This isn’t about predicting your future, but rather understanding your genetic landscape so you can make informed health decisions.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Family history of schizophrenia or related mental health conditions
- Unexplained changes in thinking, perception, or behaviour
- Early warning signs like social withdrawal or difficulty concentrating
- Concerns about passing genetic risks to children
- Wanting proactive mental health management strategies
Many South Africans find peace of mind through genetic testing, especially when mental health conditions have affected multiple family members.
Why Early Genetic Understanding Matters
Discovering your genetic risk profile empowers you to:
- Access early intervention strategies if needed
- Make informed lifestyle and health decisions
- Reduce anxiety through knowledge and understanding
- Participate in regular mental health monitoring
- Discuss family planning with complete information
- Potentially prevent or delay symptom onset through proactive measures
Knowledge is power when it comes to managing your mental health journey.
Understanding Your Test Results
Your results will be clearly explained during your genetic counselling session. We’ll help you understand:
- What specific CALR gene variations were found
- What these findings mean for your health
- Recommended next steps and monitoring
- How to discuss results with your healthcare provider
- Strategies for mental wellness regardless of results
Remember: A genetic predisposition doesn’t guarantee development of schizophrenia, but it does provide valuable information for proactive health management.
