Hereditary Pancreatitis Gene Panel Test

This test measures genes like PRSS1 and CFTR. PRSS1 gene helps control enzyme production in the pancreas. CFTR gene regulates salt and water movement in cells. Identifying mutations in these genes helps diagnose hereditary pancreatitis

• To diagnose hereditary pancreatitis
• To assess the risk of developing this condition
• To guide treatment decisions based on genetic information

The Hereditary Pancreatitis Gene Panel Test is recommended:

• For individuals with a family history of pancreatitis
• For individuals having symptoms like recurrent abdominal pain or digestive issues
• Suitable for those needing early detection of hereditary pancreatitis
• Essential before planning pregnancies to understand genetic risks

Abnormal results may indicate an increased risk of hereditary pancreatitis. Discuss results with your doctor for further evaluation and management

• Blood sample collection from a vein in your arm
• The sample collection process is quick and relatively painless
• A healthcare professional will collect your sample using a needle

• Avoid eating or drinking anything other than water before the test
• Inform your doctor about any medications you are taking
• Ensure you follow any specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider regarding fasting or dietary restrictions

• Genetic Counselling: To discuss risk factors associated with family history 
• Lipase and Amylase Levels: Enzyme levels related to pancreatic health
• Abdominal Ultrasound: Imaging technique for pancreatic assessment

Genetic Panel for Hereditary Pancreatitis or Hereditary Pancreatitis Genetic Test

Hereditary pancreatitis is a rare genetic condition characterized by recurrent condition of pancreatic inflammation.This condition can result to chronic pancreatic problems, affecting digestion and overall health. Early detection through genetic testing enables timely intervention and management
