Take Control of Your Genetic Health: NTHL1 Gene FAP Type 3 Testing
We understand the worry that comes with a family history of colon cancer. When multiple relatives have faced this disease, it’s natural to wonder about your own risk. Our NTHL1 Gene Familial Adenomatous Polyposis Type 3 test provides the answers you need to make proactive health decisions with confidence.
Understanding Your NTHL1 Gene Test
This advanced genetic screening examines your NTHL1 gene using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology – the gold standard in genetic testing. The NTHL1 gene plays a crucial role in preventing tumour formation, and specific mutations can significantly increase your risk of developing multiple colon polyps and colorectal cancer.
Unlike standard screenings that only detect existing polyps, this test identifies your genetic predisposition before symptoms appear, giving you the power of early intervention.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Multiple family members with colon cancer or polyps
- Personal history of numerous colon polyps
- Early-onset colorectal cancer in your family
- Unexplained gastrointestinal symptoms with family cancer history
- Planning for family and concerned about genetic inheritance
Many South African families carry genetic risks without realising it. Knowing your status empowers you to take preventive measures.
Why This Test Matters for Your Health
Early detection through genetic testing can be life-saving. By identifying NTHL1 gene mutations, you gain:
- Proactive Cancer Prevention: Implement targeted screening and prevention strategies
- Family Planning Confidence: Understand genetic risks for future generations
- Personalised Medical Care: Receive tailored screening schedules based on your genetic profile
- Peace of Mind: Reduce uncertainty about your cancer risk
- Cost Savings: Preventative care is significantly more affordable than cancer treatment
Understanding Your Results with Confidence
We know genetic test results can feel overwhelming. That’s why every test includes professional genetic counselling to help you understand what your results mean for your health.
Your comprehensive report will clearly explain:
- Whether NTHL1 gene mutations were detected
- What your specific results mean for your cancer risk
- Recommended screening and prevention strategies
- Family implications and testing recommendations
- Next steps for managing your health proactively
Our genetic counsellors are available to answer all your questions and provide ongoing support.
