Take Control of Your Metabolic Health with HADH Gene Testing
If you’re worried about unexplained metabolic symptoms or have a family history of 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency, you’re not alone. Many South African families face uncertainty about inherited metabolic conditions. Our HADH Gene DNA Test provides the clarity and peace of mind you deserve, helping you make informed decisions about your health and your family’s future.
Understanding HADH Gene Deficiency Testing
3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency is a rare inherited metabolic disorder that affects how your body processes fats for energy. When the HADH gene doesn’t function properly, it can lead to serious health complications, especially during periods of fasting or illness. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your HADH gene to identify any mutations that could cause this condition.
This isn’t just another test – it’s a comprehensive genetic analysis that provides life-changing information about your metabolic health. By understanding your genetic makeup, you can work with healthcare providers to develop personalised prevention and management strategies.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Unexplained episodes of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
- Muscle weakness or fatigue, especially during illness or fasting
- Developmental delays in infants or children
- Family history of metabolic disorders or sudden infant death
- Liver enlargement or abnormal liver function tests
- Feeding difficulties in newborns or infants
If you’re planning a family and have concerns about inherited conditions, genetic testing can provide valuable information for your reproductive decisions.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Identifying HADH gene deficiency early can be life-saving. With proper diagnosis:
- You can implement dietary management strategies to prevent metabolic crises
- Healthcare providers can develop emergency protocols for illness periods
- Families can make informed decisions about future pregnancies
- You avoid unnecessary medical investigations and treatments
- Children receive appropriate monitoring and intervention
Early detection transforms uncertainty into actionable health information, giving you the power to protect yourself and your loved ones.
