Find Answers for Unexplained Swelling with Hereditary Angioedema DNA Testing
When sudden, painful swelling affects your face, limbs, or airways without warning, it can be terrifying and life-disrupting. Many South Africans experience these mysterious episodes without understanding the cause. Our SERPING1 Gene Hereditary Angioedema NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the definitive answers you deserve, helping you and your healthcare team develop an effective management plan for lasting peace of mind.
Understanding Your Hereditary Angioedema Test
Hereditary angioedema is a genetic condition that causes recurrent episodes of severe swelling in various body parts. Our advanced NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology specifically examines the SERPING1 gene, which plays a crucial role in regulating swelling responses in your body. When this gene contains mutations, it can lead to the unpredictable swelling episodes characteristic of hereditary angioedema.
This isn’t just another blood test – it’s a comprehensive genetic analysis that provides life-changing information about your inherited health risks. The test requires either a blood sample, extracted DNA, or a simple blood spot on an FTA card, making the process straightforward and minimally invasive.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Recurrent episodes of swelling without obvious cause (not related to allergies)
- Family history of similar swelling episodes
- Swelling that affects your face, hands, feet, or genital area
- Abdominal pain accompanied by swelling episodes
- Swelling that doesn’t respond to typical allergy medications
- Unexplained airway swelling or breathing difficulties
Many patients spend years seeking answers for these symptoms. Our genetic test can provide the clarity needed to end this diagnostic journey and begin effective management.

Knowing your genetic status for hereditary angioedema provides numerous life-changing benefits:
- Accurate Diagnosis: Move beyond uncertainty to a definitive understanding of your condition
- Personalised Treatment: Work with your doctor to develop targeted management strategies
