Find Clarity About Pulmonary Fibrosis and Bone Marrow Failure Risks
When breathing becomes a struggle or unexplained fatigue takes over your life, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our TERT Gene NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the answers South African families need to understand their genetic risk for serious lung and blood conditions. For just ZAR 6,700, gain peace of mind through advanced genetic screening that could change your health journey.
Understanding Your TERT Gene Test
The TERT gene plays a crucial role in maintaining the protective caps on your chromosomes called telomeres. When this gene doesn’t function properly, it can lead to accelerated aging of cells in your lungs and bone marrow. Our test uses cutting-edge Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to examine your TERT gene with exceptional accuracy, identifying mutations that could indicate increased risk for pulmonary fibrosis and bone marrow failure conditions.
This isn’t just another medical test – it’s a comprehensive genetic assessment that considers your complete family health picture through professional genetic counselling.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Screening?
This test could be life-changing if you experience:
- Unexplained shortness of breath or persistent dry cough
- Chronic fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest
- Family history of pulmonary fibrosis or interstitial lung disease
- Blood disorders or bone marrow failure in close relatives
- Multiple family members with lung or blood conditions
- Early signs of lung scarring on medical scans
Many South Africans discover their genetic risks only after serious symptoms appear. Early detection through genetic testing provides the opportunity for proactive health management.
Why This Test Matters for Your Health Future
Knowledge is power when it comes to genetic health conditions. Understanding your TERT gene status offers:
- Early Intervention Opportunities: Identify risks before severe symptoms develop
- Family Planning Insights: Make informed decisions about genetic inheritance
