Understanding Your Genetic Risk for Frontotemporal Dementia
When dementia runs in your family, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. You may worry about your future health or whether you’ve passed genetic risks to your children. Our GRN Gene Dementia DNA test provides the clarity you need to make informed decisions about your neurological health.
What This Test Reveals About Your Health
The GRN gene plays a crucial role in brain health, and specific mutations can significantly increase your risk for frontotemporal dementia. This isn’t just about getting results – it’s about understanding your body’s blueprint and taking proactive steps toward brain health preservation.
Using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we analyze your DNA with 99.9% accuracy to identify any GRN gene mutations. This advanced approach ensures you receive the most reliable information about your genetic predisposition to frontotemporal dementia.
Is This Test Right For You?
Consider this genetic test if you experience:
- Family history of early-onset dementia or cognitive decline
- Concerns about personality changes or behavioural issues in relatives
- Planning for future health and wanting to understand genetic risks
- Unexplained language difficulties or executive function problems in family members
- Wanting to make informed family planning decisions
Many South Africans with European ancestry may have higher prevalence of GRN mutations, making this test particularly relevant for understanding inherited risks.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Future
Knowing your genetic status empowers you to:
- Make proactive lifestyle changes that may delay symptom onset
- Participate in early monitoring and potential clinical trials
- Reduce anxiety through certainty rather than speculation
- Make informed decisions about career, retirement, and family planning
- Access appropriate support services and resources early
Early knowledge provides the opportunity to maximize your quality of life and plan effectively for the future.
