Understanding Your Family’s Cancer Risk: The PMS2 Gene Test
We understand the worry that comes when colorectal cancer runs in your family. That nagging concern every time you hear about another relative being diagnosed – it’s a burden no one should carry alone. Our PMS2 hereditary colorectal cancer test is designed to give you the clarity and peace of mind you deserve, helping you take proactive steps for your health future.
What Does This Test Actually Detect?
This specialised genetic test uses Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to examine your PMS2 gene for specific mutations that cause hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer type 4. Think of it as reading your genetic blueprint to identify any spelling errors that could increase your cancer risk. Unlike general cancer screening, this test looks specifically at the genetic factors you may have inherited from your parents.
Who Should Consider This Important Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience any of these situations:
- Multiple family members diagnosed with colorectal cancer
- Early-onset colorectal cancer in your family (before age 50)
- Personal history of multiple cancer types
- Known PMS2 gene mutation in your family
- Unexplained gastrointestinal symptoms with family cancer history
- Planning family and wanting to understand genetic risks to pass on
Why This Knowledge Could Transform Your Health Journey
Knowing your genetic status isn’t about living in fear – it’s about empowerment. A positive result means you can work with your healthcare team to implement early detection strategies that could save your life. Regular colonoscopies, lifestyle adjustments, and targeted monitoring become part of your proactive health plan. A negative result can provide immense relief and reduce unnecessary anxiety about your cancer risk.
Understanding Your Results: We’re Here to Guide You
We know waiting for genetic test results can be stressful. That’s why we include genetic counselling both before and after your test. Your results will be clearly explained, and you’ll receive personalised guidance about what they mean for you and your family. Whether your result is positive or negative, you’ll leave with a clear understanding of your next steps and ongoing support options.
