Taking Control of Your Breast Health Journey
We understand that thinking about breast cancer risk can be overwhelming and anxiety-provoking. Many South African women worry about their genetic predisposition, especially when there’s family history involved. That’s why we’ve created a compassionate, professional testing experience that puts your peace of mind first. Our BRCA gene test isn’t just about getting results – it’s about empowering you with knowledge to make informed decisions about your health future.
Understanding Your BRCA Genetic Test
The BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are your body’s natural protection against breast cancer. When these genes work properly, they help prevent uncontrolled cell growth. Our test uses Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to examine these genes with exceptional accuracy, identifying any changes that might increase your breast cancer risk. This isn’t a diagnosis of cancer – it’s valuable information about your genetic makeup that can guide your healthcare decisions.
Who Should Consider This Important Test?
This test is particularly relevant if you experience any of these concerns:
- Family history of breast cancer, especially in close relatives
- Multiple family members with breast or ovarian cancer
- Breast cancer diagnosis before age 50 in your family
- Male breast cancer in your family
- Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry with cancer history
- Personal history of breast cancer wanting genetic clarity
Why This Matters for Your Health Future
Knowledge truly is power when it comes to breast health. Understanding your BRCA status provides several life-changing benefits:
- Early Detection Planning: Create personalized screening schedules with your doctor
- Preventive Options: Explore risk-reducing strategies if needed
- Family Awareness: Help relatives understand their potential risk
- Peace of Mind: Reduce uncertainty and anxiety about your genetic risk
- Informed Decisions: Make healthcare choices based on solid information
Understanding Your Results with Compassion
We know waiting for genetic test results can be stressful. That’s why we provide clear, compassionate explanations of your findings:
