Find Clarity About Your Cancer Risk with PTEN Gene Testing
When cancer runs in your family, every doctor’s appointment can feel like waiting for bad news. The uncertainty about whether you’ve inherited genetic risks can be emotionally draining. At Oracle Genomics, we understand this anxiety and provide the definitive answers you need through our advanced PTEN Gene Cowden Syndrome Type 1 NGS Genetic DNA Test.
Understanding Your PTEN Gene Test
The PTEN gene acts as your body’s natural tumour suppressor – it helps prevent uncontrolled cell growth that leads to cancer. When this gene carries mutations, it can no longer perform this vital function, significantly increasing your risk for multiple cancers. Our Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines every part of your PTEN gene with 99.9% accuracy, giving you the clear, reliable information needed to make informed health decisions.
Who Should Consider This Important Test?
This test could be crucial for you if you experience:
- Multiple family members with breast, thyroid, or endometrial cancers
- Personal history of unusual skin growths or hamartomas
- Macrocephaly (larger than average head size)
- Developmental delays or autism spectrum disorders
- Multiple benign tumours in various organs
- Family history of Cowden syndrome or related conditions
Many South Africans live with these symptoms without understanding their genetic connection. Knowing your PTEN status empowers you with proactive health management.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Discovering a PTEN gene mutation isn’t about receiving bad news – it’s about gaining the power to protect your health. With this knowledge, you can:
- Start earlier and more frequent cancer screening
- Make informed family planning decisions
- Implement preventive health measures
- Reduce anxiety through proactive monitoring
- Potentially prevent cancers through early intervention
Peace of mind comes from knowing you’re taking control of your health journey.
