Find Clarity About Brittle Bone Disease with SERPINH1 Genetic Testing
If you or your loved ones experience frequent fractures, bone pain, or have a family history of Osteogenesis Imperfecta, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our SERPINH1 Gene Test provides the definitive answers you need to understand your genetic risk for Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type 10, empowering you to make informed health decisions with confidence.
Understanding the SERPINH1 Genetic Test
The SERPINH1 gene plays a crucial role in collagen production, the protein that gives bones their strength and flexibility. When this gene contains mutations, it can lead to Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type 10 – a rare form of brittle bone disease. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your SERPINH1 gene with 99.9% accuracy, identifying even the smallest genetic variations that could impact your bone health.
This isn’t just another genetic test – it’s a comprehensive analysis that provides clarity about your genetic blueprint for bone strength, helping you and your healthcare team develop targeted management strategies.
Who Should Consider SERPINH1 Genetic Testing?
- Individuals with recurrent fractures from minimal trauma
- Children or adults with bone deformities or short stature
- Those with family history of Osteogenesis Imperfecta
- Parents planning pregnancy with known family genetic risks
- Individuals with blue sclerae (the white part of eyes)
- People experiencing dental abnormalities or hearing loss
- Those with connective tissue disorders affecting mobility
If you recognise any of these symptoms in yourself or family members, genetic testing can provide the answers needed for proper diagnosis and management.
