Understanding Your Bleeding Concerns: GP1BA Gene Testing for Bernard-Soulier Syndrome
When unexplained bleeding or excessive bruising affects your daily life, it can be frightening and isolating. Many South Africans struggle with these symptoms without understanding the underlying cause. Our GP1BA Gene Bernard-Soulier Syndrome Type A1 NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity you need to take control of your health journey.
What This Test Reveals About Your Health
The GP1BA gene test specifically examines your DNA for mutations that cause Bernard-Soulier Syndrome, a rare inherited bleeding disorder. This condition affects how your blood platelets function, making it difficult for your body to form proper blood clots. Using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we analyse your genetic blueprint with exceptional accuracy to identify any abnormalities in the GP1BA gene that could be impacting your health.
Is This Test Right for You?
Consider this test if you or your family members experience:
- Excessive bleeding from minor cuts or injuries
- Frequent or prolonged nosebleeds without obvious cause
- Heavy menstrual periods that disrupt daily activities
- Easy bruising with minimal impact
- Bleeding gums during routine dental care
- Family history of bleeding disorders
- Unexplained anaemia or fatigue
Many South Africans dismiss these symptoms as normal, but they could indicate an underlying genetic condition that requires proper management.
