Understanding Your Genetic Health Journey
When calcium levels fluctuate unpredictably or kidney function concerns arise, it’s natural to feel anxious about what might be causing these symptoms. Many South African families face the uncertainty of inherited conditions without clear answers. Our CASR Gene Hypocalcemia with Bartter Syndrome NGS Genetic DNA Test is designed to provide the clarity and peace of mind you deserve.
What This Test Detects
This comprehensive genetic test examines the CASR (calcium-sensing receptor) gene for mutations that cause autosomal dominant hypocalcemia and Bartter syndrome. The CASR gene plays a crucial role in regulating calcium levels in your blood and kidney function. When mutations occur, they can lead to:
- Chronic low calcium levels (hypocalcemia)
- Kidney function abnormalities
- Electrolyte imbalances
- Increased risk of kidney stones
Who Should Consider This Test
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Unexplained muscle cramps or spasms
- Persistent fatigue or weakness
- Numbness or tingling sensations
- Kidney stones or urinary issues
- Family history of calcium metabolism disorders
- Multiple family members with similar symptoms
- Children with developmental delays and electrolyte imbalances
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Understanding your genetic predisposition empowers you to take proactive steps for better health management. Early detection of CASR gene mutations can help:
- Prevent complications from chronic hypocalcemia
- Guide appropriate calcium and vitamin D supplementation
- Reduce risk of kidney damage
- Inform family planning decisions
- Provide clarity for affected family members
- Enable targeted monitoring and preventive care
Understanding Your Results with Confidence
Our genetic counselling team provides comprehensive support throughout your testing journey. Your results will clearly indicate whether CASR gene mutations are present, along with detailed explanations about what this means for your health. We help you understand:
- The specific mutation identified
- How it affects calcium regulation
