Find Clarity About Your Family’s Gastrointestinal Cancer Risk
When stomach or intestinal cancers run in your family, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. You might wonder: “Could I be at risk too?” “Should my children be concerned?” Our KIT Gene Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumour (GIST) familial test provides the answers you need to take control of your health journey.
Understanding Your KIT Gene GIST Test
This advanced genetic test examines your KIT gene for specific mutations that can be passed through families. Think of it as reading your body’s genetic blueprint to identify potential risk factors for gastrointestinal stromal tumours before symptoms appear. Using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology – the gold standard in genetic testing – we provide highly accurate results you can trust.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Family history of gastrointestinal cancers or GIST tumours
- Unexplained abdominal pain or discomfort
- Personal history of multiple tumours
- Planning for family and concerned about genetic risks
- Already diagnosed with GIST and want to understand familial implications
Many South African families share similar health patterns – understanding your genetic risk can break this cycle for future generations.
