Find Clarity About Hereditary Lymphedema with Advanced Genetic Testing
If you’re experiencing persistent swelling in your limbs or suspect you might have inherited lymphedema from family members, you’re not alone. Many South Africans face uncertainty about their swelling symptoms, wondering if it’s temporary or something more serious. Our GJC2 Gene Hereditary Lymphedema Type IC NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the definitive answers you need to take control of your health journey.
Understanding Your GJC2 Lymphedema Genetic Test
This specialised test examines the GJC2 gene using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology – the most advanced method available for genetic analysis. The GJC2 gene plays a crucial role in the development and function of your lymphatic system. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to hereditary lymphedema type IC, causing fluid buildup and swelling in various parts of your body.
Unlike basic screenings, our comprehensive approach doesn’t just identify if you have the condition – it provides detailed information about the specific genetic changes, helping your healthcare team develop the most effective management strategy for your unique situation.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Unexplained swelling in arms, legs, or other body parts that doesn’t resolve
- Family history of lymphedema or similar swelling conditions
- Early-onset swelling symptoms, especially in childhood or young adulthood
- Recurrent skin infections in swollen areas
- Heaviness or discomfort in affected limbs
- Limited mobility due to persistent swelling
If multiple family members have similar symptoms, genetic testing becomes even more crucial for understanding inheritance patterns and risks for future generations.
