Find Clarity About Osteopetrosis with Advanced Genetic Testing
When bone density concerns run in your family, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our TNFSF11 gene test provides the definitive answers you need to understand your genetic risk for autosomal recessive osteopetrosis type 2. We understand how worrying it can be when you suspect an inherited bone condition might affect your family’s health.
Understanding the TNFSF11 Osteopetrosis Test
This advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) test examines the TNFSF11 gene for specific mutations that cause autosomal recessive osteopetrosis type 2. Think of it as reading your genetic blueprint to identify potential bone density issues before they become serious health concerns. The test is designed to be comprehensive yet straightforward, giving you clear, actionable information about your genetic health.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Unexplained bone fractures or brittleness
- Family history of osteopetrosis or bone density disorders

Many South African families find peace of mind through early detection, allowing for better health planning and management.
