Take Control of Your Lung and Liver Health with Alpha-1 Antitrypsin DNA Testing
If you’ve been struggling with unexplained breathing difficulties, persistent cough, or worry about your family’s health history, you’re not alone. Many South Africans live with undiagnosed Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency, a genetic condition that can silently damage your lungs and liver over time. Our advanced genetic test provides the clarity you need to protect your long-term health and peace of mind.
Understanding Your Alpha-1 Antitrypsin DNA Test
Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency is an inherited condition where your body doesn’t produce enough of a protein that protects your lungs from damage. Without this protection, your lungs become vulnerable to serious conditions like emphysema and COPD, while your liver can also be affected. Our NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) technology examines your SERPINA1 gene with exceptional accuracy, identifying any mutations that could impact your health.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Unexplained shortness of breath or wheezing
- Chronic cough that doesn’t improve
- Recurrent respiratory infections
- Family history of lung or liver disease
- Early-onset emphysema (before age 45)
- Unexplained liver problems in adulthood
- Planning pregnancy with family history of genetic conditions
Many South Africans with these symptoms spend years searching for answers – our test can provide the clarity you need in weeks.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Knowing your genetic status empowers you to:
- Prevent serious lung damage by avoiding smoking and environmental triggers
- Receive appropriate medical care tailored to your genetic profile
- Make informed family planning decisions with genetic counselling
- Reduce anxiety through clear understanding of your health risks

Early detection could save you from years of declining health and medical complications.
