Understanding Your Genetic Risk for MASS Syndrome
If you’re concerned about unexplained heart symptoms, family history of connective tissue disorders, or want clarity about your genetic health, the FBN1 Gene MASS Syndrome test provides the answers you need for peace of mind. Many South Africans live with undiagnosed genetic conditions that affect their heart health and quality of life – now you can take control with accurate, reliable genetic testing.
What Does This Test Actually Detect?
The FBN1 Gene MASS Syndrome test examines your FBN1 gene using advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology. This gene produces fibrillin-1, a protein essential for maintaining the strength and elasticity of your connective tissues throughout your body. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to MASS syndrome – a condition affecting your mitral valve, aorta, skeleton, and skin.
Unlike general health screenings, this specific genetic test looks for the precise genetic variations that could impact your cardiovascular health and connective tissue function, giving you targeted information rather than general concerns.
Who Should Consider This Important Genetic Test?
This test is particularly relevant if you experience:
- Unexplained heart murmurs or mitral valve prolapse
- Family history of connective tissue disorders or sudden cardiac events
- Unusual flexibility or joint hypermobility
- Skeletal abnormalities or unusual tall stature
- Skin that stretches more than normal or scars unusually
- Planning pregnancy with family history of genetic conditions
Many patients tell us they’ve lived with unexplained symptoms for years before discovering their genetic predisposition through testing.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health Journey
Knowing your genetic status empowers you to:
- Prevent complications through early monitoring and intervention
- Make informed family planning decisions with genetic counselling guidance
- Reduce anxiety about unexplained symptoms or family health patterns
- Access appropriate specialist care with cardiologists who understand genetic conditions

Early knowledge means you can work with your healthcare team to create a proactive health management plan.
