Take Control of Your Genetic Cancer Risk with the MSH2 Gene Test
If cancer runs in your family, you’ve likely wondered about your own risk. That nagging worry about whether you’ve inherited the genetic predisposition that affected your loved ones can be overwhelming. Our MSH2 Gene Mismatch Repair Cancer Syndrome NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the answers you need to move from uncertainty to informed action.
Many South Africans carry MSH2 gene mutations without knowing it, significantly increasing their lifetime risk for Lynch syndrome and associated cancers including colorectal, endometrial, stomach, and ovarian cancers. Understanding your genetic makeup isn’t just about knowledge – it’s about empowerment and proactive health management.
Understanding Your MSH2 Genetic Cancer Risk
The MSH2 gene plays a crucial role in your body’s natural DNA repair system. When this gene contains mutations, it can lead to Lynch syndrome (also known as hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer or HNPCC). This condition significantly increases your lifetime risk for several types of cancer, often developing at younger ages than in the general population.
Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your MSH2 gene with exceptional accuracy, identifying even the smallest genetic variations that could impact your cancer risk. This isn’t just a test – it’s a comprehensive genetic assessment that provides the foundation for personalized cancer prevention strategies.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Cancer Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience any of these situations:
- Multiple family members diagnosed with colorectal, endometrial, stomach, ovarian, or urinary tract cancers
- Cancer diagnosed before age 50 in yourself or family members
- Multiple primary cancers in the same individual
- Known Lynch syndrome in your family
- Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry with family cancer history
- Personal history of colorectal cancer with specific pathological features
- Unexplained family cancer patterns that concern you
If you’ve been worrying about your family’s cancer history, this test can provide the clarity needed to stop guessing and start planning.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Knowing your MSH2 status transforms your approach to healthcare from reactive to proactive:
- Personalized Screening: Tailored cancer surveillance schedules based on your actual genetic risk
- Early Intervention: The opportunity to detect cancers at their most treatable stages
- Family Planning: Informed decisions about genetic risks for future generations
- Peace of Mind: Replacing uncertainty with knowledge and control
- Preventive Options: Access to risk-reducing strategies and medications
- Cost Savings: Potentially avoiding expensive late-stage cancer treatments through early detection
Many patients tell us the greatest benefit is the relief that comes from having a clear plan rather than living with uncertainty.
Understanding Your Test Results
We understand that waiting for genetic test results can be anxiety-provoking. Our team provides clear, compassionate guidance:
- Positive Result: If we detect an MSH2 mutation, you’ll receive detailed information about your specific cancer risks and personalized recommendations for surveillance and prevention. Our genetic counsellors will help you understand what this means for you and your family.
- Negative Result: A negative result means no known MSH2 mutations were detected, significantly reducing your Lynch syndrome risk. However, we’ll discuss any remaining concerns based on your family history.
- Variant of Uncertain Significance: Sometimes we find genetic changes whose significance isn’t yet fully understood. We’ll explain what this means and any recommended follow-up.
Regardless of your results, you’ll leave with a clear understanding and a personalized plan moving forward.
