Understanding Your Genetic Risk for Early-Onset Alzheimer’s Disease
When Alzheimer’s disease appears in your family, especially at a young age, it can create understandable anxiety about your own future. The PSEN1 Gene Alzheimer’s Disease Type 3 test provides the clarity and peace of mind you deserve. For South African families concerned about hereditary Alzheimer’s, this advanced genetic screening offers answers that can transform your health planning and reduce uncertainty.
What This Test Reveals About Your Genetic Health
The PSEN1 gene plays a crucial role in brain health, and specific mutations in this gene are directly linked to early-onset Alzheimer’s disease type 3. Our Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your PSEN1 gene with 99.9% accuracy, identifying any mutations that may increase your risk of developing Alzheimer’s symptoms before age 65. This isn’t just a test – it’s a powerful tool for understanding your genetic inheritance and taking control of your neurological health.
Who Should Consider This Important Genetic Screening?
This test is particularly valuable if you experience any of these situations:
- Family members diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease before age 65
- Multiple relatives across generations with early-onset dementia
- Planning for your future health and wanting to understand genetic risks
- Experiencing early memory concerns with family history of Alzheimer’s
- Considering family planning and wanting to understand inherited risks
Many South Africans in Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban have found peace of mind through understanding their genetic predisposition to Alzheimer’s disease.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Brain Health
Knowing your genetic status empowers you to make informed decisions about your health journey. Early detection through PSEN1 testing allows for:
- Proactive Health Planning: Work with healthcare providers to develop personalized brain health strategies
- Lifestyle Interventions: Implement evidence-based approaches to support cognitive health
- Reduced Anxiety: Replace uncertainty with knowledge and control
- Family Awareness: Help relatives understand their potential risks and screening options
- Treatment Planning: Early awareness can lead to more effective intervention timing
Understanding Your Test Results with Compassion
We understand that genetic testing can feel overwhelming. That’s why every PSEN1 test includes comprehensive genetic counselling to help you interpret your results in context. Our caring specialists will:
- Explain your results in clear, understandable language
- Discuss what the findings mean for your health journey
- Provide resources and next-step recommendations
- Address your questions and concerns with empathy
- Connect you with appropriate healthcare professionals if needed
Remember: A positive result doesn’t mean you will definitely develop Alzheimer’s, and a negative result provides valuable reassurance about your genetic risk.
