Understanding Your Risk for Hereditary Esophageal Cancer
If you’re worried about esophageal cancer running in your family, or if you’ve noticed unusual skin thickening on your palms and soles, you’re not alone. Many South Africans face the anxiety of not knowing their genetic risk for serious health conditions. Our RHBDF2 Gene Test provides the answers you need to make informed decisions about your health future.
What This Test Detects
This advanced genetic test specifically examines the RHBDF2 gene for mutations associated with tylosis and esophageal cancer. Using cutting-edge Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we can identify even the smallest genetic variations that might increase your cancer risk. This isn’t just another test – it’s a comprehensive analysis of your genetic blueprint for esophageal health.
Who Should Consider This Test
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Thickened skin on your palms or soles (known as tylosis)
- Family history of esophageal cancer, especially in multiple relatives
- Unexplained difficulty swallowing or persistent heartburn
- Concerns about passing genetic risks to your children
- Wanting peace of mind about your cancer risk profile
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Knowing your genetic risk for esophageal cancer can be life-changing. Early detection through genetic testing allows for:
- Proactive monitoring and early intervention strategies
- Personalised screening schedules based on your actual risk
- Informed family planning decisions
- Reduced anxiety through knowledge and control
- Potential prevention of advanced cancer development
