Find Clarity About Unexplained Bleeding with ACTN1 Gene Testing
When you experience unusual bleeding, easy bruising, or prolonged bleeding after minor injuries, it’s natural to feel concerned and uncertain. Many South Africans live with these symptoms without understanding the underlying cause, often feeling isolated in their health journey. Our ACTN1 Gene Bleeding Disorder Platelet-Type 15 NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the definitive answers you’ve been searching for, bringing peace of mind through advanced genetic analysis.
Understanding Your ACTN1 Gene Test
The ACTN1 gene plays a crucial role in platelet function – the tiny blood cells that help your body form clots and stop bleeding. When this gene contains mutations, it can lead to platelet-type bleeding disorders that affect your body’s natural ability to control bleeding. Our test uses Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, the most advanced method available, to examine your ACTN1 gene with exceptional accuracy. This isn’t just another blood test; it’s a comprehensive genetic analysis that looks deep into your DNA to identify the specific changes causing your symptoms.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Unexplained or easy bruising that appears without significant injury
- Prolonged bleeding from minor cuts or injuries
- Frequent nosebleeds that are difficult to control
- Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
- Excessive bleeding after dental procedures or surgery
- Family history of bleeding disorders
- Unexplained anaemia or low iron levels
Many patients tell us they’ve lived with these symptoms for years, thinking they were just “bleeders” or assuming it was normal for them. Getting a proper diagnosis can be life-changing.
