Take Control of Your Genetic Cancer Risk with the RAD51D Gene Test
When cancer runs in your family, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. Many South African women worry about their genetic predisposition to breast and ovarian cancers, especially when they’ve seen loved ones face these challenges. Our RAD51D Gene Breast-Ovarian Cancer Familial Susceptibility Type 4 NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the answers you need to make informed health decisions and potentially prevent cancer before it develops.
Understanding Your RAD51D Genetic Cancer Risk
The RAD51D gene plays a crucial role in repairing DNA damage in your cells. When this gene contains specific mutations, it significantly increases your lifetime risk of developing breast and ovarian cancers. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your RAD51D gene with exceptional accuracy, identifying mutations that could impact your health and your family’s future.
This isn’t just another medical test – it’s a powerful tool for proactive health management that can guide your screening schedule, preventive measures, and family planning decisions.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Cancer Test?
This test is particularly important if you identify with any of these situations:
- Multiple family members diagnosed with breast or ovarian cancer
- Breast cancer diagnosed before age 50 in close relatives
- Ovarian cancer at any age in your family history
- Both breast and ovarian cancer in the same relative
- Male breast cancer in your family
- Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry with cancer history
- Personal history of breast cancer before age 45
If you’ve been carrying the weight of family cancer history, this test can provide the clarity needed to move forward with confidence.
Why Early Genetic Detection Matters for Your Health
Knowing your RAD51D status empowers you to take proactive steps that could save your life:
- Personalised Screening: Tailor your mammogram and ultrasound schedule based on your actual risk
- Preventive Options: Discuss risk-reducing medications or surgeries with your doctor
- Family Planning: Make informed decisions about your reproductive future
- Peace of Mind: Reduce anxiety by replacing uncertainty with knowledge
- Family Awareness: Help relatives understand their own cancer risks
Early detection through genetic testing transforms fear into actionable health strategies.
Understanding Your Test Results
We understand that waiting for genetic test results can be stressful. Our process is designed to provide clarity and support:
- Positive Result: If a RAD51D mutation is found, our genetic counsellors will explain what this means for your cancer risk and connect you with specialists for personalised management plans
- Negative Result: No RAD51D mutation detected means your cancer risk returns to population levels, though continued screening is still recommended
- Variant of Uncertain Significance: Sometimes we find genetic changes whose impact isn’t yet fully understood – we’ll monitor these and update you as research progresses
Regardless of your results, you’ll receive comprehensive guidance on next steps and ongoing support.
