Find Clarity About Unexplained Bleeding with GP1BB Genetic Testing
When every cut seems to bleed too much, or bruises appear without explanation, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. You’re not alone in your concerns about bleeding disorders, and getting definitive answers is the first step toward proper management and peace of mind. Our GP1BB Gene Bernard Soulier Syndrome Type B NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the scientific clarity you need to understand your body’s unique bleeding patterns.
Understanding Your GP1BB Genetic Test
Bernard Soulier Syndrome Type B is a rare inherited bleeding disorder caused by mutations in the GP1BB gene. This gene provides instructions for making a protein that helps platelets (the blood cells responsible for clotting) stick together properly. When this gene doesn’t function correctly, your body struggles to form stable blood clots, leading to the bleeding symptoms you may be experiencing.
Our test uses advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to examine your GP1BB gene with exceptional accuracy. This isn’t just a simple blood test – it’s a comprehensive genetic analysis that looks deep into your DNA to identify the specific mutations causing your symptoms.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test could provide life-changing answers if you experience:
- Excessive bleeding from minor cuts or injuries
- Frequent or prolonged nosebleeds without obvious cause
- Easy bruising with minimal trauma
- Heavy or prolonged menstrual periods
- Bleeding gums during routine dental care
- Family history of bleeding disorders
- Unexplained anaemia or low platelet counts
Many South Africans live with undiagnosed bleeding disorders, often attributing their symptoms to “just being a bleeder” without understanding the genetic basis. Getting tested means you can stop guessing and start managing your condition effectively.
