Understanding Your Genetic Risk for Osteogenesis Imperfecta
If you’re worried about brittle bone disease running in your family or have experienced unexplained fractures, you’re not alone. Many South African families face the uncertainty of genetic conditions, and the COL1A2 gene test provides the clarity you need to move forward with confidence.
What This Test Reveals About Your Health
The COL1A2 Gene Osteogenesis Imperfecta NGS Test examines the specific gene responsible for producing type I collagen – the essential protein that gives your bones their strength and flexibility. Using advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we analyse your DNA with exceptional precision to identify any mutations that could affect bone health across generations.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
- Individuals with frequent or unexplained bone fractures
- Families with a history of Osteogenesis Imperfecta (brittle bone disease)
- Parents planning pregnancy who want to understand genetic risks
- Children showing signs of bone fragility or dental abnormalities
- Adults with hearing loss or blue sclerae (whites of eyes)
- Anyone with connective tissue concerns affecting joints or skin
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Family’s Future
Knowing your genetic status empowers you to make proactive health decisions. Early detection allows for better bone health management, informed family planning choices, and appropriate medical interventions. Many families find peace of mind simply by understanding their genetic blueprint, reducing the anxiety of uncertainty.
