Understanding Your Family’s Health Concerns
When you notice joint stiffness, liver problems, or kidney issues running in your family, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. The VIPAS39 Gene Test provides the clarity South African families need to understand their genetic health risks. We know that waiting for answers about conditions like arthrogryposis (joint contractures), renal dysfunction, and cholestasis (liver problems) creates significant stress – that’s why we’ve made this advanced testing accessible across South Africa.
What This Test Detects
This specialised genetic test examines the VIPAS39 gene for mutations that cause Arthrogryposis Renal Dysfunction Cholestasis (ARC) syndrome type 2. Using next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology, we identify specific genetic changes that affect multiple body systems, including joint development, kidney function, and liver health. Understanding these genetic factors helps explain why certain health patterns appear in families and provides crucial information for managing symptoms effectively.
Who Should Consider This Test
This test is particularly important if you or family members experience:
- Unexplained joint stiffness or contractures from birth
- Recurrent kidney problems or renal dysfunction
- Liver issues including cholestasis (reduced bile flow)
- Multiple family members with similar symptoms
- Previous inconclusive medical investigations
- Planning for pregnancy with family history of these conditions
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Identifying VIPAS39 gene mutations early provides significant advantages for managing your family’s health. Early detection allows for proactive monitoring of kidney and liver function, appropriate joint care interventions, and informed family planning decisions. Many South African families find peace of mind knowing the genetic basis of their health concerns, enabling them to work with healthcare providers on targeted management strategies rather than dealing with unexplained symptoms.
Understanding Your Results with Compassion
We understand that genetic test results can be anxiety-provoking. That’s why every test includes comprehensive genetic counselling to help you understand your results in context. Our specialists explain what the findings mean for your health management and family planning. Whether the results confirm a genetic predisposition or provide reassuring information, we guide you through the implications with empathy and professional expertise.
