Take Control of Your Family’s Colon Cancer Risk
When colon cancer runs in your family, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. You might wonder if you’ll be next, or if your children will inherit the same risks. Our PMS1 hereditary colon cancer genetic test provides the clarity you deserve, giving you the power to make informed decisions about your health future.
Understanding Your PMS1 Genetic Test
The PMS1 gene plays a crucial role in DNA repair, and when mutations occur, it can significantly increase your risk of developing hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (Lynch syndrome). Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your PMS1 gene with exceptional accuracy, identifying any concerning mutations that could impact your health.
This isn’t just another test – it’s a comprehensive health assessment that includes professional genetic counselling to map your family history and provide personalised guidance based on your results.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience any of these concerns:
- Multiple family members with colon cancer, especially at young ages
- Personal or family history of Lynch syndrome-related cancers
- Unexplained gastrointestinal symptoms that worry you
- Planning for family and concerned about genetic inheritance
- Wanting peace of mind about your cancer risk profile
If you’ve ever lost sleep worrying about your family’s cancer history, this test can provide the answers that bring you peace.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Knowing your PMS1 status transforms fear into action. With early detection, you can:
- Implement personalised screening schedules that catch problems early
- Make informed lifestyle choices that reduce your cancer risk
- Provide accurate genetic information for your children and relatives
- Access appropriate medical monitoring and preventive care
- Reduce anxiety through knowledge and proactive health management
Early detection isn’t just about finding cancer – it’s about preventing it through informed, proactive healthcare decisions.
