Understanding Your Genetic Risk for Blood Clots
If you’ve ever worried about unexplained swelling, experienced recurrent pregnancy loss, or have family members with blood clotting issues, you’re not alone. Many South Africans live with the anxiety of not knowing their genetic predisposition to thrombosis. Our Factor V Leiden Mutation Analysis provides the clarity and peace of mind you deserve.
What This Test Reveals About Your Health
This advanced genetic analysis examines three critical mutations that affect your body’s natural blood clotting mechanisms. Using Real Time PCR technology, we analyse:
- Factor V Leiden Mutation: The most common inherited risk factor for abnormal blood clotting
- Prothrombin Gene Mutation: Another significant genetic factor that increases clotting risk
- MTHFR Gene Mutation: Affects how your body processes folate and can influence clotting tendencies
Understanding these genetic factors helps you and your doctor develop personalised prevention strategies.
Who Should Consider This Important Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Unexplained deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism
- Recurrent miscarriages or pregnancy complications
- Family history of blood clotting disorders
- Unexplained swelling, pain, or redness in limbs
- Planning pregnancy with family history of clotting issues
- Multiple family members with stroke or heart attack at young ages
Early detection can be life-saving and prevent serious complications.
Why This Knowledge Matters for Your Health
Knowing your genetic risk profile provides:
- Peace of Mind: Eliminate uncertainty about your clotting risks
- Personalised Prevention: Work with your doctor on targeted prevention strategies
- Family Planning Confidence: Make informed decisions about pregnancy and contraception
