Find Clarity About Your Blood Clot Risk with Genetic Testing
If you’ve experienced unexplained blood clots or have a family history of clotting disorders, you understand the constant worry and uncertainty. Every ache or pain might make you wonder if it’s something more serious. Our SERPINC1 Gene Antithrombin III Deficiency DNA Test provides the answers you need to take control of your health journey.
Understanding Your Genetic Risk for Blood Clotting Disorders
Antithrombin III deficiency is an inherited condition that affects your body’s ability to prevent excessive blood clotting. When the SERPINC1 gene isn’t working properly, your natural anticoagulant system may not function as it should, putting you at higher risk for deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and other serious clotting events.
Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your SERPINC1 gene with exceptional accuracy, identifying even subtle genetic variations that could impact your clotting risk. This isn’t just a test – it’s a roadmap to understanding your unique genetic makeup.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Unexplained or recurrent blood clots before age 50
- Family history of blood clotting disorders
- Blood clots in unusual locations (like abdominal veins or brain)
- Multiple miscarriages or pregnancy complications
- Clots that occur without obvious risk factors
- Planning pregnancy with a family history of clotting disorders
Many South Africans live with undiagnosed genetic clotting risks. Knowing your status can help you and your doctor make informed decisions about prevention and treatment.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Discovering you have Antithrombin III deficiency isn’t about receiving bad news – it’s about gaining power. With this knowledge, you can:
- Work with your doctor to develop personalised prevention strategies
- Reduce your risk of life-threatening clotting events
- Make informed decisions about surgeries, travel, and medications
- Understand your family’s genetic inheritance pattern
- Plan pregnancies with appropriate medical supervision
- Experience peace of mind through proactive health management
Early detection means you’re no longer guessing about your health – you’re taking informed action.
Understanding Your Test Results
We know waiting for genetic test results can be anxiety-provoking. That’s why we provide clear, compassionate explanations of your results:
- Normal Result: No detected mutations in the SERPINC1 gene – excellent news for your clotting risk profile
- Carrier Status: You have one copy of a mutated gene – important information for family planning
- Affected Result: Mutations detected that increase clotting risk – now you can take proactive measures
Every result includes a consultation to help you understand what it means for your health and next steps. You’re not alone in this journey.
