Understanding Your Genetic Risk for Alzheimer’s Disease
When memory concerns arise or family history weighs on your mind, having clarity about your genetic risk can bring profound peace of mind. Our Next Generation Sequencing Alzheimer’s Disease Test represents the forefront of neurological genetic testing in South Africa, offering you advanced insights into your cognitive health future.
What This Advanced Test Detects
This comprehensive genetic analysis examines four crucial genes associated with Alzheimer’s disease risk:
- APOE gene – The most significant genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer’s
- APP gene – Associated with early-onset familial Alzheimer’s
- PSEN1 gene – The most common cause of early-onset inherited Alzheimer’s
- PSEN2 gene – Another important gene in familial Alzheimer’s patterns
Using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we provide the most accurate genetic profiling available, giving you and your healthcare provider valuable information for proactive health planning.
Who Should Consider This Important Test
This test is particularly valuable if you experience:
- Memory concerns or cognitive changes that worry you
- Strong family history of Alzheimer’s or dementia
- Early-onset memory issues in family members (before age 65)
- Multiple relatives affected by Alzheimer’s disease
- Personal interest in understanding your genetic risk profile
- Planning for long-term health and lifestyle strategies
Many South Africans find comfort in knowing their genetic risk, allowing for earlier interventions and better preparation.
Why Genetic Testing Matters for Your Brain Health
Early genetic insight provides numerous advantages:
- Proactive Planning – Knowledge allows for earlier lifestyle interventions and health monitoring
- Family Awareness – Understand potential genetic risks for your children and relatives
- Reduced Anxiety – Replace uncertainty with clear, actionable information
- Informed Decisions – Work with your neurologist or psychiatrist on personalised prevention strategies
- Peace of Mind – Many patients find relief in knowing their actual risk rather than worrying about possibilities
Understanding Your Test Results
We provide clear, comprehensive reports that your healthcare provider can help interpret. Your results will indicate:
- Specific genetic variants detected (if any)
- Associated risk levels and implications
- Guidance for next steps and monitoring
- Recommendations for lifestyle factors that support brain health
Remember: A genetic risk doesn’t guarantee you’ll develop Alzheimer’s, and many factors influence cognitive health. Our genetic counsellors and your healthcare team can help you understand what your results mean for your individual situation.
