Take Control of Your Heart Health with PRKG1 Aortic Aneurysm Genetic Testing
When aortic aneurysm runs in your family, every heartbeat can feel uncertain. The PRKG1 genetic test offers the clarity and peace of mind you deserve, helping you understand your inherited risk and take proactive steps to protect your cardiovascular health.
Understanding Your PRKG1 Genetic Test
The PRKG1 gene plays a crucial role in maintaining the strength and elasticity of your aorta – the main artery carrying blood from your heart. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to weakened aortic walls, creating the risk for thoracic aortic aneurysms that may rupture without warning.
Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your PRKG1 gene with 99.9% accuracy, identifying specific mutations associated with familial thoracic aortic aneurysm type 8. This isn’t just a test – it’s your opportunity to break the cycle of uncertainty and take control of your heart health.
Who Should Consider This Life-Saving Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Family history of aortic aneurysms or sudden cardiac death
- Chest pain, back pain, or shortness of breath
- Known PRKG1 mutation in your family
- Marfan syndrome-like features without confirmed diagnosis
- Planning pregnancy with family history of aortic conditions
Many South Africans live with undiagnosed genetic risks. Don’t wait for symptoms to appear – early detection through genetic testing can be life-saving.
