Take Control of Your Genetic Health with Cystic Fibrosis Screening
We understand that considering genetic testing can feel overwhelming. At Oracle Genomics, we provide compassionate, confidential care while delivering the accurate information you need to make informed health decisions for yourself and your family.
Understanding Cystic Fibrosis Mutation Screening
Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic condition that affects breathing and digestion. Our screening test specifically looks for four common mutations in the CFTR gene that are responsible for most cases of Cystic Fibrosis. This isn’t just a test – it’s peace of mind for your future and your family’s health.
Using advanced End Point PCR technology, we analyse your DNA with 99% accuracy to detect these critical mutations. The process is simple: a small blood sample provides all the information needed for comprehensive screening.
Who Should Consider This Important Screening?
- Couples planning to start a family, especially if there’s a family history of Cystic Fibrosis
- Individuals with unexplained respiratory or digestive symptoms
- People with salty-tasting skin or frequent lung infections
- Those with a family member diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis
- Couples undergoing fertility treatment or considering pregnancy
- Individuals planning international travel requiring medical clearance
If you’re experiencing persistent coughing, wheezing, or digestive issues, this screening could provide the answers you’ve been seeking.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Early identification of Cystic Fibrosis mutations can be life-changing. Knowing your genetic status empowers you to:
- Make informed family planning decisions
- Access early intervention and treatment if needed
- Reduce anxiety about unknown genetic risks
- Prepare for potential health challenges proactively
- Provide accurate information to healthcare providers
Many South Africans live with undiagnosed genetic conditions. Our screening brings clarity and control back to your health journey.

We know waiting for genetic test results can be stressful. Our team provides clear, compassionate explanations of your results:
- Negative Result: No detected mutations – peace of mind for you and your family planning
- Carrier Status: You carry one mutation but won’t develop Cystic Fibrosis – important for family planning
- Positive Result: Early detection allows for immediate specialist referral and treatment planning
Regardless of your results, our genetic counsellors are available to help you understand what they mean for your health and future.
