Find Answers for Unexplained Bleeding and Bruising
When your body doesn’t stop bleeding normally, it can feel frightening and isolating. You might worry about every minor cut or bruise, wondering if this time it will be different. Our TBXAS1 Gene Thromboxane Synthase Deficiency test provides the clarity and peace of mind you deserve. Using cutting-edge NGS technology, we help South Africans understand their bleeding risks and take proactive control of their health.
Understanding Your TBXAS1 Gene Test
The TBXAS1 gene produces an enzyme called thromboxane synthase, which is essential for proper blood clotting. When this gene has mutations, it can lead to thromboxane synthase deficiency – a condition that affects your body’s ability to form stable blood clots. Our Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your DNA with incredible precision, identifying even the smallest genetic variations that could be affecting your health.
This isn’t just another blood test – it’s a comprehensive genetic analysis that looks deep into your DNA blueprint to understand why your body might be struggling with bleeding control.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test could be life-changing if you experience:
- Frequent or prolonged nosebleeds that are difficult to stop
- Easy bruising with minimal impact or pressure
- Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
- Excessive bleeding after dental work, surgery, or minor injuries
- Family history of bleeding disorders or unexplained bleeding
- Diagnosis of platelet function disorders without clear cause
Many South Africans live with these symptoms for years without understanding the underlying cause. Getting tested can provide the answers that transform your approach to healthcare and daily life.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Knowing you have thromboxane synthase deficiency empowers you to:
- Receive appropriate medical care before emergencies occur
- Make informed decisions about surgeries and medical procedures
- Understand which medications to avoid that could worsen bleeding
- Share accurate family health information with relatives
- Work with your healthcare team to create a personalised management plan
- Reduce anxiety about unexpected bleeding episodes
Early detection means you’re no longer guessing about your health – you’re taking proactive steps based on solid genetic information.
Understanding Your Test Results
We know waiting for genetic test results can feel anxious. That’s why we provide clear, comprehensive reports with expert interpretation. Your results will clearly indicate:
- Whether TBXAS1 gene mutations were detected
- The specific type of mutation found (if any)
- What the results mean for your health and bleeding risk
- Recommended next steps and specialist referrals
- Information to share with your healthcare providers
Our genetic counselling session ensures you fully understand your results and their implications for you and your family.
