Take Control of Your Respiratory Health with FLCN Gene Testing
If you’ve experienced sudden chest pain, unexplained breathing difficulties, or have a family history of lung collapses, you understand the fear and uncertainty that comes with primary spontaneous pneumothorax. Our FLCN Gene Pneumothorax NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity and peace of mind you deserve.
Understanding Your FLCN Gene Test
Primary spontaneous pneumothorax occurs when air leaks into the space between your lung and chest wall, causing the lung to collapse. The FLCN gene plays a crucial role in preventing this condition. Our advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your FLCN gene for mutations that increase your risk of developing spontaneous lung collapses.
This isn’t just another test – it’s a comprehensive genetic assessment that provides definitive answers about your respiratory health risks.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Sudden, sharp chest pain that worsens with breathing
- Unexplained shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
- A family history of pneumothorax or lung collapses
- Recurrent respiratory symptoms without clear cause
- Previous episodes of spontaneous pneumothorax
If you’re tall and thin, or a smoker, your risk may be elevated – making genetic testing even more valuable for proactive health management.
