Find Clarity About Cystinosis Risk with Advanced Genetic Testing
When kidney health concerns run in your family, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. Our CTNS Gene Cystinosis Nephropathic NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the answers you need to protect your family’s health and plan for the future with confidence.
Understanding Your CTNS Gene Cystinosis Test
This advanced genetic test examines the CTNS gene using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify mutations that cause nephropathic cystinosis. Cystinosis is a rare genetic disorder where the amino acid cystine accumulates in cells, primarily affecting kidney function and potentially leading to kidney failure if undetected.
Our testing process includes comprehensive genetic counselling to help you understand your family’s specific risk patterns and create a detailed pedigree chart that maps how this condition may affect your loved ones.
Who Should Consider This Important Genetic Test?
- Individuals with family history of cystinosis or unexplained kidney problems
- Parents concerned about passing genetic conditions to children
- Children showing symptoms like growth delays, excessive thirst, or frequent urination
- Individuals with unexplained kidney dysfunction or Fanconi syndrome
- Couples planning pregnancy with known cystinosis in family medical history
- Patients with corneal cystine crystals or photophobia
If you’ve noticed these symptoms in yourself or loved ones, our test can provide the clarity needed for proper medical management.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Family’s Health
Early identification of CTNS gene mutations can be life-changing. By detecting cystinosis early, you can:
- Prevent progressive kidney damage through timely treatment
- Guide appropriate medication and dietary management
- Make informed family planning decisions
- Reduce anxiety through definitive answers
- Access specialised care before serious complications develop
- Potentially save on future healthcare costs through proactive management
