Taking proactive steps towards understanding your bowel health is paramount, especially if you have a family history of bowel conditions or wish to gain a deeper insight into your personal risk. Our Genetic Bowel Screening Test is designed to identify inherited genetic markers associated with an increased risk of common bowel conditions, including certain cancers and polyps.

This advanced genetic test involves:

• Analysis of Key Genes: We screen for specific genetic variants known to be linked to conditions such as Lynch Syndrome (hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer, HNPCC), Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP), and other hereditary colorectal cancer syndromes.

• Risk Assessment: The results provide valuable information about your genetic predisposition, which can guide personalized screening strategies and lifestyle recommendations.

Our comprehensive gene panel for bowel cancer risk includes:

APC, BMPR1A, EPCAM, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, MUTYH, PMS2, PTEN, SMAD4, STK11.

Why choose PMG's Genetic Bowel Screening Test?

• Early Risk Identification: Discover if you carry genetic variants that increase your susceptibility to certain bowel conditions, often before symptoms appear.

• Empower Informed Decisions: With knowledge of your genetic risk, you and your healthcare provider can develop a tailored screening plan (e.g., earlier or more frequent colonoscopies) and discuss preventive measures.

• Peace of Mind for Families: Understanding your genetic status can also have implications for your family members, allowing them to consider testing and appropriate screening if a genetic variant is identified.

• Proactive Health Management: Shift from reactive treatment to proactive prevention and early detection, significantly improving potential outcomes.
