Gastroenterology Genetic Testing

Gastroenterology Genetic Testing is a specialized diagnostic tool that analyzes a person’s DNA to identify genetic variations linked to digestive system disorders. It helps detect inherited conditions affecting the gastrointestinal tract, liver, pancreas, and related organs. This testing can uncover risks for diseases such as hereditary colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, and familial polyposis. By understanding genetic predispositions, healthcare providers can tailor prevention strategies, guide early interventions, and personalize treatment plans. Gastroenterology genetic testing is especially valuable for individuals with a family history of digestive disorders or unexplained gastrointestinal symptoms, enabling proactive management and improved health outcomes.

Why Choose This Gastroenterology Genetic Testing?

Choosing Gastroenterology Genetic Testing offers a proactive and personalized approach to digestive health. This testing helps identify inherited risks for a wide range of gastrointestinal conditions, allowing for early detection, timely intervention, and targeted treatment. It provides clarity in complex or unexplained digestive symptoms and aids in diagnosing rare or hereditary disorders that may not be apparent through routine testing. By understanding your genetic makeup, doctors can recommend lifestyle changes, surveillance strategies, or preventive measures tailored to your specific risk. This empowers patients and families with knowledge, helping them make informed health decisions and reduce the likelihood of future complications.

When Is It Used?

Family history of gastrointestinal cancers – Especially colon, stomach, or pancreatic cancers.
Unexplained chronic digestive symptoms – Such as persistent diarrhea, abdominal pain, or bleeding.
Early-onset gastrointestinal conditions – Diseases like colorectal cancer or IBD diagnosed at a young age.
Multiple polyps found in the colon – Suggesting possible inherited polyposis syndromes.
Confirmed diagnosis of a hereditary GI disorder in the family – To assess risk in other relatives.
Evaluation before certain surgeries or treatments – To guide decisions based on genetic risk.
Screening for rare or inherited liver and pancreatic diseases – Like hereditary pancreatitis or Wilson disease.

Who Should Consider Gastroenterology Genetic Testing?

Gastroenterology genetic testing is recommended for individuals with a personal or family history of digestive system disorders, especially those that appear early in life or recur across generations. It is also valuable for people experiencing unexplained gastrointestinal symptoms or those diagnosed with multiple polyps or rare digestive diseases. Identifying genetic causes helps guide prevention, screening, and treatment strategies for both the individual and at risk family members.

You should consider this test if:

Have a family history of colorectal, stomach, pancreatic, or liver cancer.
Were diagnosed with colorectal cancer before age 50.
Have multiple colon polyps or a known polyposis syndrome.
Experience persistent or unexplained GI symptoms like bleeding, pain, or chronic diarrhea.
Have a personal or family history of inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s or ulcerative colitis).
Are a close relative of someone with a known hereditary gastrointestinal condition.
Need genetic insights to guide preventive care or targeted therapy.

How We Work

How is the Test Performed?

Our Services

Just a few of the many health issues we screen for

Celiac Disease

An autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten ingestion, with a genetic predisposition involving HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8 genes.

Autoimmune Hepatitis

A chronic liver disease where genetic variants contribute to immune system attacks on liver cells, causing inflammation and damage.

Gastric Cancer

A genetic form of stomach cancer linked to CDH1 mutations, often requiring preventive action due to aggressive growth.

Hereditary Pancreatitis

A rare condition involving recurrent pancreas inflammation caused by inherited mutations in PRSS1 or related genes.

Gilbert Syndrome

A mild liver disorder causing elevated bilirubin levels, often inherited and generally harmless but relevant in certain diagnoses.

Hemochromatosis

A genetic disorder causing excessive iron absorption and storage, potentially damaging the liver, heart, and pancreas.
