Understanding NADK2 Gene Deficiency: Your Path to Metabolic Health Clarity
Living with unexplained fatigue, muscle weakness, or developmental delays can be overwhelming and frightening. When traditional medical tests don’t provide answers, it’s natural to feel anxious and uncertain about your health future. The NADK2 Gene 24-Dienoyl-CoA Reductase Deficiency Test offers the clarity you’ve been searching for – a definitive answer about whether genetic factors are affecting your metabolic health.
What This Test Reveals About Your Metabolic Health
This advanced genetic test examines the NADK2 gene, which plays a crucial role in your body’s energy production system. When this gene doesn’t function properly, it can disrupt how your cells process fats and generate energy, leading to the rare metabolic disorder known as 24-dienoyl-CoA reductase deficiency. Using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we analyze your DNA with exceptional accuracy to identify any mutations that could be impacting your health.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your child experience:
- Unexplained muscle weakness or fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest
- Developmental delays in childhood milestones
- Metabolic crises triggered by illness or fasting
- Family history of similar symptoms across generations
- Unexplained neurological symptoms or seizures
- Abnormal metabolic screening results
Many South African families have found answers through genetic testing after years of uncertainty about their health concerns.
