Understanding Your Bone Health: TCIRG1 Osteopetrosis Genetic Testing
If you or your child are experiencing unexplained bone fractures, dental problems, or vision or hearing loss, you may be concerned about osteopetrosis. This rare genetic condition, often called ‘marble bone disease,’ can significantly impact quality of life. Our TCIRG1 Gene Osteopetrosis Autosomal Recessive Type 1 NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity you need to make informed health decisions and protect your family’s future.
What This Test Detects
The TCIRG1 gene plays a crucial role in bone development and maintenance. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to autosomal recessive osteopetrosis type 1 – a condition where bones become abnormally dense and brittle. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your DNA to identify these specific mutations, providing definitive answers about your genetic risk.
Unlike basic genetic tests, our comprehensive analysis looks at the entire TCIRG1 gene sequence, ensuring no mutation goes undetected. This thorough approach gives you and your healthcare provider the complete picture needed for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Unexplained or frequent bone fractures
- Delayed growth or development in children
- Vision or hearing problems without clear cause
- Dental abnormalities or delayed tooth eruption
- Family history of osteopetrosis or brittle bone conditions
- Planning for pregnancy with family history of bone disorders
Many South African families find peace of mind through early detection, especially when there’s a known family history of bone conditions. Early identification can lead to proactive management and improved quality of life.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Getting tested for TCIRG1 osteopetrosis offers significant health advantages:
- Prevent Complications: Early detection allows for monitoring and intervention before serious bone complications develop
- Family Planning: Understand your genetic risk when planning for children
- Personalised Care: Work with your healthcare provider to create a tailored management plan
- Peace of Mind: Eliminate uncertainty and reduce anxiety about unexplained symptoms

Many patients report feeling empowered after testing, as they can finally understand the cause of their symptoms and take proactive steps toward better health.
