Take Control of Your Family’s Genetic Health Journey
We understand that thinking about genetic conditions can feel overwhelming, especially when planning for your family’s future. At Oracle Genomics, we’re here to walk alongside you with compassion and expertise. Our Spinal Muscular Atrophy carrier screening provides the clarity and peace of mind you deserve when making important family planning decisions.
Understanding Spinal Muscular Atrophy Carrier Screening
Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is a genetic condition that affects the nerves controlling muscle movement. As a carrier, you typically don’t show symptoms but can pass the gene to your children. Our screening test identifies whether you carry the SMN1 gene mutation responsible for SMA, giving you valuable information to protect your family’s health.
Using advanced MLPA technology, we analyse your DNA with 99% accuracy to detect carrier status. This simple blood test takes just minutes but provides lifelong insights into your genetic makeup.
Who Should Consider This Important Screening?
This test is particularly important if you:
- Are planning to start or expand your family
- Have a family history of neuromuscular conditions
- Want comprehensive genetic information before pregnancy
- Are concerned about inherited conditions in your family line
- Seek peace of mind about your genetic health status
Many South Africans choose this screening as part of responsible family planning, ensuring they have all the information needed to make confident decisions.
Why This Screening Matters for Your Family’s Future
Early detection through carrier screening offers profound benefits:
- Informed Family Planning: Make confident decisions with complete genetic information
- Early Intervention Opportunities: Access support and resources if needed
- Peace of Mind: Reduce uncertainty and anxiety about genetic risks
- Comprehensive Health Picture: Understand your complete genetic profile
- Future Preparation: Plan ahead with knowledge and confidence
Understanding Your Results with Compassion
We know waiting for genetic results can be stressful. Our healthcare professionals provide clear, compassionate explanations of your results:
- Carrier Status: If you’re a carrier, we’ll explain what this means for your family planning
- Non-Carrier Results: Peace of mind about your genetic status
- Genetic Counselling: Access to professional guidance for any questions
- Next Steps: Clear recommendations based on your results
Remember, being a carrier is common and doesn’t mean your children will necessarily be affected. We’re here to help you understand all your options.
