Find Answers for Early-Onset Diabetes with RFX6 MODY Genetic Testing
When diabetes appears unexpectedly in young adulthood, it can feel confusing and overwhelming. You might be asking: “Why me? Why now?” Our RFX6 MODY genetic test provides the clarity you deserve, helping you understand your unique genetic makeup and take control of your health journey.
Understanding Your RFX6 MODY Genetic Test
This specialised test examines your RFX6 gene using advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology. The RFX6 gene plays a crucial role in pancreatic development and insulin production. When mutations occur in this gene, they can lead to MODY – a specific form of diabetes that typically appears before age 25 and follows distinct inheritance patterns.
Unlike type 1 or type 2 diabetes, MODY has unique treatment requirements, making accurate diagnosis essential for proper management. Our test provides definitive answers about whether RFX6 gene mutations are contributing to your diabetes symptoms.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Diabetes symptoms developing before age 25
- Mild fasting hyperglycemia that doesn’t fit typical type 1 or type 2 patterns
- Family history of diabetes across multiple generations
- Parents or siblings diagnosed with diabetes at young ages
- Uncertainty about your diabetes classification
- Interest in understanding your genetic risk for passing diabetes to children
Many South Africans with MODY are initially misdiagnosed with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, leading to suboptimal treatment. Getting the right diagnosis can transform your diabetes management approach.
Why This Test Matters for Your Health
Early and accurate diagnosis of RFX6-related MODY offers significant benefits:
- Personalised Treatment: MODY often responds better to specific medications than standard diabetes treatments
- Family Planning Insights: Understand inheritance patterns and risks for future generations
- Reduced Complications: Proper diagnosis leads to better long-term health outcomes
- Peace of Mind: Replace uncertainty with clear understanding of your condition
- Cost Savings: Avoid unnecessary medications and treatments through accurate diagnosis
Understanding Your Results with Confidence
We understand that waiting for genetic test results can be anxiety-provoking. Our comprehensive approach includes:
- Genetic Counselling Session: Before testing, you’ll meet with our genetic counsellor to create a detailed family health history
- Clear Result Interpretation: Your report will clearly explain what any findings mean for your health
