Find Clarity About Tuberous Sclerosis Genetic Risks
When you’re worried about tuberous sclerosis affecting your family, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. We understand that genetic health concerns create deep anxiety about the future – for yourself and your loved ones. Our TSC1 Gene Tuberous Sclerosis NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the definitive answers you need to make informed health decisions with confidence.
Understanding Your TSC1 Genetic Test
Tuberous sclerosis is a genetic condition that can cause non-cancerous tumours to grow in various organs, including the brain, skin, kidneys, heart, eyes, and lungs. The TSC1 gene test specifically examines the genetic blueprint that, when altered, can lead to this condition. Using advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we analyse your DNA with exceptional precision to identify any mutations in the TSC1 gene that could indicate tuberous sclerosis risk.
This isn’t just a laboratory procedure – it’s a comprehensive health assessment that includes professional genetic counselling. Our specialists help you understand your family history and create a pedigree chart, ensuring you have complete context for your results and future health planning.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test provides crucial insights if you or your family members experience:
- Unexplained seizures or epilepsy, especially in childhood
- Skin abnormalities like facial angiofibromas or hypomelanotic macules
- Developmental delays or learning difficulties
- Behavioural problems including autism spectrum disorders
- Family history of tuberous sclerosis or related symptoms
- Planning for pregnancy with known family genetic risks
- Unexplained kidney, heart, or lung issues that could relate to TSC
Many South African families live with unexplained symptoms for years. This test can provide the clarity needed to move forward with appropriate medical care and family planning decisions.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Knowing your genetic status empowers you to take control of your health journey:
- Peace of Mind: Eliminate uncertainty about genetic risks for you and your family
