Understanding Hereditary Heart Conditions: Your Family’s Health Journey Starts Here
When heart conditions run in your family, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. You worry about your children’s future, question every symptom, and wonder if there’s a way to get ahead of potential health challenges. At Oracle Genomics, we understand that genetic heart conditions affect not just individuals, but entire families. Our CRELD1 gene testing provides the clarity and confidence you need to make informed healthcare decisions for your loved ones.
What This Test Reveals About Your Heart Health
The CRELD1 gene plays a crucial role in heart development during pregnancy. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to complex heart conditions including atrioventricular septal defects (partial holes in the heart) and heterotaxy syndrome (abnormal organ positioning). Our advanced NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) technology examines your DNA with exceptional accuracy to identify these specific genetic variations.
Think of this test as a detailed blueprint of your genetic heart health – it doesn’t just tell you if there’s a problem, but precisely what the genetic foundation looks like. This information becomes invaluable for family planning, early intervention, and personalised medical care.
Is This Test Right for Your Family?
This genetic test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Family history of congenital heart defects across generations
- Children with unexplained heart murmurs or breathing difficulties
- Multiple family members with heart conditions diagnosed in infancy
- Previous pregnancies affected by heart development issues
- Suspected genetic heart conditions based on medical evaluations
Many South African families discover that what seemed like isolated health incidents are actually connected through genetic patterns. Understanding these connections can transform how you approach healthcare for your entire family.
Peace of Mind and Proactive Health Management
Getting this test means taking control of your family’s heart health journey. The benefits extend far beyond a simple diagnosis:
- Early Intervention: Identify risks before symptoms become serious health issues
- Family Planning Confidence: Make informed decisions about future pregnancies
- Personalised Care: Work with your healthcare team to create targeted treatment plans
- Reduced Anxiety: Replace uncertainty with clear, actionable information

South African families across Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and Pretoria have found that genetic testing provides the missing piece in their healthcare puzzle.
