Understanding Your Risk: RUNX1 Gene Platelet Disorder & Blood Cancer Screening
Living with unexplained bruising, bleeding, or worrying about your family’s blood disorder history can be overwhelming. You deserve clear answers and peace of mind. Our RUNX1 Gene Test provides the comprehensive genetic insight you need to understand your risk factors and take control of your health journey.
What This Test Reveals About Your Health
The RUNX1 gene plays a critical role in blood cell development and function. When mutations occur in this gene, they can lead to platelet disorders that cause abnormal bleeding and bruising. More importantly, these same mutations significantly increase your lifetime risk of developing myeloid malignancies – serious blood cancers including acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes.
Using advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, our test examines your RUNX1 gene with exceptional accuracy, identifying even subtle genetic changes that could impact your health.
Who Should Consider This Important Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Unexplained or excessive bruising that seems out of proportion to minor injuries
- Frequent nosebleeds or bleeding gums without obvious cause
- Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
- Easy bruising since childhood
- Family history of platelet disorders or blood cancers
- Previous abnormal blood test results suggesting platelet issues
- Concerns about passing genetic conditions to your children
If any of these sound familiar, this test could provide the clarity you need.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Future Health
Discovering a RUNX1 gene mutation isn’t about receiving bad news – it’s about gaining powerful knowledge that can protect your health. Early detection allows for:
- Proactive Monitoring: Regular blood tests and specialist oversight to catch any changes early
- Informed Family Planning: Understanding inheritance patterns for future generations
- Personalised Care: Tailored medical management based on your specific genetic profile
