Take Control of Your Blood Health with CALR Gene Testing
If you’ve been worried about unexplained blood abnormalities or have a family history of blood cancers, you’re not alone. Many South Africans face uncertainty about their genetic risk for serious blood disorders. Our CALR Gene Mutation Test provides the clarity and peace of mind you deserve, using cutting-edge technology to detect genetic markers that could save your life.
Understanding Your CALR Gene Test
The CALR gene plays a crucial role in regulating blood cell production. When mutations occur in this gene, particularly in exon 9, they can lead to myeloproliferative neoplasms – serious blood disorders that affect how your body produces blood cells. Our test specifically examines this critical section of your DNA using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), the most advanced genetic testing technology available.
Think of it as a highly precise genetic microscope that examines the exact blueprint instructions your body uses to create blood cells. When these instructions contain errors, we can identify them early, often before symptoms become severe.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Unexplained fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest
- Abnormal blood cell counts in recent tests
- Enlarged spleen or liver without clear cause
- Family history of blood cancers or myeloproliferative disorders
- Persistent itching, especially after warm showers
- Night sweats or unexplained weight loss
- Bone pain or discomfort
If you’re currently being monitored for blood abnormalities or have concerns about your genetic risk, this test provides the definitive answers you need.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Discovering CALR gene mutations early can be life-changing. Early detection means:
- Proactive Treatment Planning: Work with your doctor to develop personalised monitoring and treatment strategies
- Peace of Mind: Replace uncertainty with clear understanding of your genetic profile
- Family Awareness: Help relatives understand their potential genetic risks
- Better Outcomes: Early intervention often leads to more effective management of blood disorders
- Reduced Anxiety: Knowledge replaces fear with actionable information
