Protect Your Family from Hereditary Wilms Tumour Risk
When cancer runs in your family, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. We understand the deep concern you carry for your children’s health and future. Our WT1 Gene Wilms Tumour Type 1 Familial NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the answers and reassurance you need to take control of your family’s health journey.
Understanding Your WT1 Genetic Test
This advanced genetic test examines the WT1 gene, which plays a crucial role in kidney development and tumour suppression. Using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology – the gold standard in genetic testing – we analyse your DNA with exceptional accuracy to identify mutations that may increase Wilms tumour risk in your family.
What makes our approach different is the comprehensive care we provide. Before testing, you’ll receive professional genetic counselling to create a detailed family pedigree chart, helping us understand your unique family history and provide personalised guidance.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Family history of Wilms tumour (kidney cancer in children)
- Multiple cases of childhood kidney cancer in relatives
- Personal history of Wilms tumour with concerns about genetic risk to children
- Associated conditions like WAGR syndrome or Denys-Drash syndrome in the family
- Unexplained kidney abnormalities in children
If you’re planning a family and have concerns about hereditary cancer risk, this test can provide valuable insights for your future children’s health.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Family
Knowing your genetic risk empowers you to take proactive steps that could save lives. Early detection through genetic testing allows for:
- Regular monitoring of at-risk children with kidney ultrasounds
- Early intervention if abnormalities are detected
- Peace of mind through knowing your actual risk level
- Informed family planning decisions
- Personalised healthcare strategies for your children
Many families find that knowing their genetic status – whether positive or negative – brings significant emotional relief and clarity for future healthcare decisions.
Understanding Your Results with Confidence
We know waiting for genetic test results can be anxiety-provoking. That’s why we provide clear, compassionate explanations of your results:
- Positive Result: Indicates a WT1 gene mutation was found. Our genetic counsellors will explain what this means for your family and connect you with appropriate monitoring and care options.
- Negative Result: No mutation detected in the WT1 gene. This significantly reduces the hereditary risk for your children.
- Variant of Uncertain Significance: Rarely, we find genetic changes whose impact isn’t fully understood. We’ll explain what this means and any recommended follow-up.
Regardless of your results, you’ll receive comprehensive guidance on next steps and ongoing support from our healthcare team.
