Understanding Your Multiple Myeloma Risk with IgH Genetic Testing
When you’re experiencing persistent bone pain, unexplained fatigue, or concerning blood test results, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. Our IgH Multiple Myeloma genetic test provides the clarity South African patients need to understand their blood cancer risk and make informed health decisions. For just ZAR 1,750, gain access to specialised FISH technology that examines immunoglobulin gene rearrangements – a crucial step in detecting and monitoring multiple myeloma.
What Does the IgH Multiple Myeloma Test Detect?
This advanced genetic test specifically analyses the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) gene using Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) technology. In multiple myeloma, abnormal rearrangements occur in these genes within plasma cells. Our test identifies these genetic changes, providing essential information about disease presence, progression, and potential treatment responses. Think of it as a molecular detective that examines the blueprint of your blood cells for early warning signs.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, this test could provide critical answers:
- Unexplained bone pain, especially in your back or ribs
- Persistent fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest
- Frequent infections or weakened immune response
- Unexplained weight loss or loss of appetite
- Abnormal blood test results showing high protein levels
- Kidney function concerns or elevated calcium levels
- Family history of blood cancers or multiple myeloma
Many South African patients initially dismiss these symptoms as normal aging or stress – our test helps eliminate that uncertainty.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Early identification of multiple myeloma genetic markers can significantly impact your treatment journey:
- Treatment Guidance: Results help oncologists choose the most effective therapies
- Disease Monitoring: Track treatment response and disease progression
- Peace of Mind: Either confirm concerns or rule out serious conditions
- Proactive Health Management: Early intervention often leads to better outcomes
- Reduced Anxiety: Replace uncertainty with clear, actionable information
Understanding Your Test Results
Our oncology specialists provide clear, compassionate explanations of your results:
- Normal Results: No detected IgH gene rearrangements – significant reassurance about your blood cancer risk
- Abnormal Results: Detected genetic changes that require further evaluation and specialist consultation
- Comprehensive Reporting: Detailed analysis with context about what the findings mean for your health
- Next Steps Guidance: Clear recommendations for follow-up care and specialist referrals
Remember: An abnormal result doesn’t automatically mean you have active multiple myeloma – it provides information that helps your healthcare team make the best decisions for your care.
