Understanding Your Genetic Health: Chromosome Breakage Syndrome Testing
When you’re concerned about genetic conditions or family health patterns, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. At Oracle Genomics, we understand that genetic health questions deserve compassionate, accurate answers. Our Chromosome Breakage Syndrome test provides the clarity you need to make informed decisions about your health and family planning.
What Does This Test Detect?
Chromosome Breakage Syndrome refers to a group of genetic disorders where chromosomes are unusually fragile and prone to breaking. This comprehensive test examines your genetic material for abnormalities that could indicate conditions like Fanconi anaemia, Bloom syndrome, or ataxia-telangiectasia. Using advanced cell culture techniques, we analyse your peripheral blood sample to identify chromosomal instability that might otherwise go undetected.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Unexplained developmental delays or growth concerns
- Family history of genetic disorders or chromosomal conditions
- Recurrent infections or immune system issues
- Planning for pregnancy with genetic risk factors
- Unexplained anaemia or blood disorders
- Multiple miscarriages or fertility concerns
Many South Africans discover crucial health insights through this testing, providing answers to long-standing health questions.
