Find Answers for Unexplained Anaemia and Chronic Fatigue
If you’ve been struggling with persistent fatigue, unexplained anaemia, or have a family history of blood disorders, you’re not alone. Many South Africans live with undiagnosed hereditary conditions that affect their daily lives. Our PIEZO1 Gene Dehydrated Hereditary Stomatocytosis NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity you need to understand your health and take control of your wellbeing.
Understanding the PIEZO1 Gene Test
This advanced genetic test examines the PIEZO1 gene, which plays a crucial role in maintaining the proper shape and function of your red blood cells. When this gene has mutations, it can lead to dehydrated hereditary stomatocytosis – a condition where red blood cells become abnormally shaped and break down prematurely, causing chronic anaemia.
Using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, our test provides the most accurate analysis available, detecting even the smallest genetic variations that might be missed by conventional testing methods.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Unexplained chronic fatigue or weakness
- Persistent anaemia that doesn’t respond to standard treatments
- Family history of blood disorders or hereditary anaemia
- Jaundice or yellowing of the skin and eyes
- Enlarged spleen (splenomegaly)
- Recurrent episodes of anaemia requiring blood transfusions
If you’re planning a family and have concerns about passing on genetic conditions, this test can provide valuable information for genetic counselling.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Getting an accurate diagnosis can transform your approach to managing your health:
- Personalised Treatment: Understand the specific cause of your anaemia for targeted treatment
- Family Planning: Make informed decisions about starting a family with genetic counselling
- Prevent Complications: Early intervention can prevent severe anaemia episodes and organ damage
- Peace of Mind: End the uncertainty and anxiety of not knowing what’s causing your symptoms
- Better Quality of Life: Proper management can significantly improve your energy levels and daily functioning
Understanding Your Test Results
We understand that waiting for genetic test results can be anxiety-provoking. Our process is designed to provide clarity and support:
Positive Result: If a PIEZO1 gene mutation is detected, our genetic counsellors will explain what this means for your health and provide guidance on management strategies. You’ll receive a comprehensive report that you can share with your healthcare provider.
Negative Result: If no mutations are found, this can provide significant relief and help rule out hereditary stomatocytosis as the cause of your symptoms.
Regardless of your results, our team provides ongoing support and connects you with appropriate specialists if needed.
