Understanding Your Risk for Pelvic Organ Prolapse Through Genetic Testing
Many women experience concerns about pelvic health, particularly when there’s a family history of pelvic organ prolapse. The uncertainty can be overwhelming – wondering if you’re at risk, when symptoms might appear, and what you can do to protect your health. Our LAMC1 genetic test provides the clarity you deserve, using cutting-edge DNA analysis to give you and your healthcare team the information needed for proactive health management.
What Does the LAMC1 Genetic Test Detect?
The LAMC1 gene plays a crucial role in maintaining the structural integrity of pelvic tissues. When variations occur in this gene, it can affect the connective tissues that support pelvic organs, potentially increasing the risk of prolapse. Our Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your LAMC1 gene with exceptional precision, identifying specific genetic markers that may indicate increased susceptibility to pelvic organ prolapse.
This isn’t just about identifying risk – it’s about empowering you with knowledge. Understanding your genetic predisposition allows you and your doctor to develop personalised monitoring and prevention strategies tailored to your unique genetic profile.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you:
- Have a family history of pelvic organ prolapse
- Experience symptoms like pelvic pressure, urinary issues, or discomfort
- Are planning pregnancy and want to understand your genetic risks
- Have been diagnosed with connective tissue disorders
- Want proactive health information for better medical planning
Many women find peace of mind in knowing their genetic status, whether the results confirm low risk or identify factors that need monitoring.
