Find Clarity About Vesicoureteral Reflux with Advanced Genetic Testing
If you’re worried about recurrent urinary tract infections, kidney damage, or have a family history of vesicoureteral reflux, our SOX17 Gene test provides the answers you deserve. Many South African families struggle with unexplained kidney and urinary issues – now you can get definitive genetic insights to guide your healthcare journey.
Understanding Your SOX17 Gene Test
Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) occurs when urine flows backward from the bladder toward the kidneys, potentially causing infections and kidney damage. The SOX17 gene plays a crucial role in urinary tract development, and mutations in this gene are linked to VUR Type 3. Our advanced NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology examines your DNA with exceptional accuracy, identifying specific genetic variations that may contribute to this condition.
This isn’t just another test – it’s a comprehensive genetic analysis that provides insights you can’t get from standard medical examinations alone.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your child experiences:
- Recurrent urinary tract infections despite treatment
- Family history of kidney problems or VUR
- Unexplained kidney damage or scarring
- Multiple siblings with urinary tract issues
- Concerns about passing genetic conditions to children
Many South African families find peace of mind through genetic testing, especially when traditional diagnostics haven’t provided clear answers.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Family’s Health
Knowing your genetic status empowers you to:
- Make informed decisions about monitoring and treatment
- Prevent potential kidney damage through early intervention
- Understand inheritance patterns for family planning
- Reduce anxiety through definitive answers
- Access appropriate specialist care when needed
Early detection can significantly improve long-term kidney health outcomes and quality of life.
