Find Clarity About Your Genetic Risk for Intestinal Carcinoid Tumours
When carcinoid tumours run in your family, every stomach pain or digestive issue can feel alarming. That constant worry about whether you’ve inherited the same genetic risk that affected your loved ones can be emotionally draining. At Oracle Genomics, we understand this anxiety and provide the definitive answers you need through our SDHD Gene Carcinoid Tumours NGS Genetic DNA Test.
This isn’t just another medical test – it’s an opportunity to take control of your health journey. For ZAR 6,700, you can transform uncertainty into actionable knowledge that could potentially save your life through early detection and personalised prevention strategies.
Understanding Your SDHD Gene Carcinoid Test
The SDHD gene plays a crucial role in preventing tumour development in your intestinal system. When this gene contains specific mutations, it significantly increases your risk of developing carcinoid tumours – slow-growing cancers that can develop in the digestive tract.
Our test uses cutting-edge Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to thoroughly examine your SDHD gene for any concerning mutations. This isn’t a basic screening – it’s a comprehensive analysis that provides the detailed information needed for informed healthcare decisions.
Think of it as having a genetic roadmap that shows whether you’re carrying the specific mutation that could lead to intestinal carcinoid tumours. This knowledge empowers you and your healthcare team to create proactive monitoring and prevention plans.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test could be life-changing for you if:
- You have one or more family members diagnosed with intestinal carcinoid tumours
- You experience unexplained abdominal pain, flushing, diarrhoea, or wheezing
- Multiple family members have had neuroendocrine tumours
- You have a known SDHD gene mutation in your family
- You’re planning a family and want to understand genetic risks to pass on
- You want peace of mind about your carcinoid tumour risk
Many South Africans with family histories of carcinoid tumours live with constant worry. This test replaces that anxiety with certainty and a clear path forward.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Knowing your SDHD gene status isn’t about predicting doom – it’s about empowerment. When detected early, intestinal carcinoid tumours are often highly treatable. This test provides:
- Personalised Screening Plans: If you test positive, your doctor can create targeted monitoring schedules
- Family Planning Insights: Understand risks for future generations
- Reduced Anxiety: Replace uncertainty with clear action plans
- Proactive Health Management: Early intervention opportunities
- Informed Treatment Decisions: Better outcomes through timely detection
For many patients, the greatest benefit is the peace of mind that comes from knowing – whether the results are positive or negative.
Understanding Your Test Results
We know waiting for genetic test results can be stressful. That’s why we provide clear, compassionate explanations of your findings:
- Negative Result: No SDHD gene mutation detected – significant relief and reduced cancer risk
- Positive Result: SDHD mutation identified – not a diagnosis, but a guide for proactive monitoring
- Variant of Uncertain Significance: Rare finding requiring further evaluation
Your results come with genetic counselling support to help you understand what they mean for your health and your family. We don’t just give you results – we give you understanding and a clear next steps plan.
