Understanding Your Bleeding Disorder: FLI1 Gene Testing for Peace of Mind
Living with excessive bleeding or unexplained bruising can be overwhelming and frightening. Every cut, bruise, or medical procedure becomes a source of anxiety. We understand the emotional toll this takes on you and your family. Our FLI1 Gene Platelet Dense Granule Secretion Defect test provides the clarity you deserve, helping you understand the genetic basis of your bleeding concerns and empowering you with knowledge for better health management.
What Does This Test Detect?
The FLI1 gene plays a crucial role in platelet function – the tiny blood cells that help your body form clots and stop bleeding. When this gene has variations, it can lead to platelet dense granule secretion defects, causing excessive bleeding even from minor injuries. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your FLI1 gene with exceptional precision, identifying the specific genetic variations that may be affecting your platelet function and bleeding patterns.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Unexplained excessive bleeding from minor cuts or injuries
- Frequent or easy bruising without apparent cause
- Prolonged bleeding after dental work, surgery, or medical procedures
- Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding in women
- Family history of bleeding disorders or platelet function issues
- Previous abnormal platelet function test results
- Concerns about passing bleeding tendencies to children
If you’ve been living with these concerns, you’re not alone. Many South Africans face similar challenges, and understanding the genetic basis can be the first step toward effective management.
