Find Clarity About Your Pancreatitis Risk with Advanced Genetic Testing
If you’ve experienced recurring pancreatitis or have a family history of pancreatic conditions, you understand the uncertainty and concern that comes with not knowing your genetic risk. The SPINK1 Gene Pancreatitis NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the answers you need to take proactive control of your health journey.
Understanding Your SPINK1 Genetic Test
The SPINK1 gene plays a crucial role in protecting your pancreas from damage. When mutations occur in this gene, your risk of developing hereditary pancreatitis increases significantly. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your SPINK1 gene with 99.9% accuracy, identifying any mutations that could impact your pancreatic health.
This isn’t just another test – it’s a comprehensive genetic assessment that includes professional genetic counselling to help you understand your results and their implications for your health future.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Recurrent episodes of acute pancreatitis without clear cause
- Family history of pancreatitis or pancreatic conditions
- Unexplained abdominal pain that concerns you
- Early-onset pancreatitis (before age 35)
- Planning for family and wanting to understand genetic risks
Many South Africans live with unexplained pancreatic symptoms – this test provides the clarity needed to move forward with confidence.

Understanding your SPINK1 gene status empowers you to:
- Prevent Chronic Complications: Early detection allows for lifestyle modifications that can prevent progression to chronic pancreatitis
- Reduce Hospitalizations: Proactive management can significantly reduce emergency room visits and hospital stays
