Find Clarity About Your Connective Tissue Health
Living with unexplained joint pain, unusual skin elasticity, or cardiovascular concerns can be overwhelming. When symptoms seem disconnected and family history suggests inherited conditions, the uncertainty can affect every aspect of your life. Our Connective Tissue and Related Disorders Panel NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the answers you need to understand your genetic predisposition and take control of your health journey.
Understanding Your Connective Tissue DNA Test
Connective tissues are the framework that holds your body together – from your skin and joints to your blood vessels and organs. When genetic mutations affect these tissues, conditions like Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Marfan syndrome, and related disorders can develop. Our advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines over 70 genes associated with connective tissue health, providing comprehensive insights that traditional testing might miss.
This isn’t just another genetic test – it’s a detailed roadmap to understanding how your body’s building blocks function and what specific genetic variations might be contributing to your symptoms.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms or have family history suggesting connective tissue disorders, this test could provide life-changing clarity:
- Unexplained joint hypermobility or frequent dislocations
- Unusually stretchy, fragile, or thin skin
- Easy bruising or poor wound healing
- Cardiovascular concerns including aortic dilation
- Family history of connective tissue disorders
- Unexplained tall stature with long limbs
- Vision problems related to lens dislocation
- Chronic pain without clear diagnosis
Many South Africans live with these symptoms for years without understanding their genetic basis. Early detection can significantly improve management and quality of life.
Why This Test Matters for Your Health
Getting answers about your connective tissue health provides more than just diagnosis – it offers peace of mind and direction:
- Early Intervention: Identify conditions before they cause significant complications
- Personalised Management: Tailor your healthcare approach based on specific genetic findings
- Family Planning Insights: Understand inheritance patterns for future generations
- Reduced Diagnostic Odyssey: Avoid years of uncertainty and multiple specialist visits
