Understanding Your Genetic Risk for Hereditary Amyloidosis
When you notice unexplained organ problems or have a family history of amyloidosis, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. You deserve answers about your genetic health, and our APOA1 Gene Amyloidosis Familial Visceral NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity and peace of mind you’re seeking. This comprehensive test helps South African families understand their risk for hereditary amyloidosis, empowering you to make informed decisions about your health future.
What This Test Detects
The APOA1 gene test examines your DNA for mutations that can lead to familial visceral amyloidosis – a condition where abnormal protein deposits accumulate in your organs, potentially causing damage to your kidneys, liver, and heart. Using advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we provide highly accurate results that can identify genetic risks before symptoms become severe.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Unexplained kidney or liver dysfunction
- Family history of amyloidosis or organ failure
- Persistent protein in urine tests
- Unexplained heart or digestive issues
- Multiple family members with similar organ problems
Early detection through genetic testing can be life-changing, allowing for proactive management and potentially preventing serious complications.
Why This Matters for Your Health
Knowing your genetic status provides powerful benefits:
- Peace of Mind: Eliminate uncertainty about your genetic risk
- Early Intervention: Detect risks before organ damage occurs
- Family Planning: Make informed decisions about your family’s health
- Personalised Care: Work with your doctor on targeted prevention strategies
- Empowerment: Take control of your health journey with confidence
Understanding Your Results
Our genetic counselling team will guide you through your results with compassion and expertise. We provide clear explanations about what your genetic findings mean for your health, including:
- Detailed interpretation of your APOA1 gene status
- Personalised risk assessment
- Recommendations for follow-up care and monitoring

Remember, a positive result doesn’t mean you will definitely develop amyloidosis – it means you have important information to work with your healthcare team for optimal management.
