Find Answers for Unexplained Bleeding and Family Health Concerns
When bleeding episodes, easy bruising, or low platelet counts run in your family, it can create constant worry and uncertainty. Our WAS Gene Thrombocytopenia test provides the clarity you need to understand your genetic health and protect future generations.
Understanding Your WAS Gene Thrombocytopenia Test
This specialised genetic test uses Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to examine the WAS gene, which plays a crucial role in your body’s ability to form blood clots properly. When this gene has variations, it can lead to X-linked thrombocytopenia – a condition that primarily affects males and causes intermittent bleeding problems that may not be immediately obvious.
Unlike standard blood tests that only show current platelet levels, our genetic test reveals the underlying cause, helping you understand whether bleeding tendencies are temporary or part of a genetic pattern affecting your family.
Who Should Consider This Important Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Unexplained or excessive bleeding after minor injuries
- Frequent nosebleeds without clear cause
- Easy bruising that seems disproportionate to the injury
- Family history of low platelet counts or bleeding disorders
- Multiple male relatives with similar bleeding patterns
- Planning pregnancy with concerns about genetic conditions
- Recurrent infections alongside bleeding tendencies
Many South African families discover that what seemed like isolated incidents are actually connected through genetic patterns that this test can identify.
