Understanding Your Family’s Diabetes Risk
If diabetes seems to run in your family, particularly affecting younger members, you’re not alone. Many South African families face the uncertainty of inherited diabetes conditions. Our HNF4A MODY Type 1 genetic test provides the clarity you need to understand your genetic risk and take proactive steps toward better health management.
What This Test Reveals About Your Health
The HNF4A gene plays a crucial role in regulating insulin production and blood sugar levels. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) Type 1 – a specific form of diabetes that often appears in adolescence or early adulthood. Unlike type 1 or type 2 diabetes, MODY follows a clear inheritance pattern and requires different treatment approaches.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Diabetes diagnosed before age 25
- Multiple generations with diabetes in your family
- Unexpected responses to standard diabetes medications
- Mild fasting hyperglycemia without typical diabetes symptoms
- Concerns about passing diabetes risk to children
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Family’s Health
Identifying MODY Type 1 early can transform diabetes management. Unlike type 2 diabetes, MODY often responds better to specific oral medications rather than insulin injections. Knowing your genetic status means:
- Personalised treatment plans that actually work
- Reduced risk of diabetes complications
- Informed family planning decisions
- Peace of mind through definitive diagnosis
- Potential cost savings from targeted treatments

Our genetic counsellors will guide you through your results with compassion and expertise. You’ll receive a clear explanation of what any genetic findings mean for your health and your family’s future.
