Find Clarity for Your Family’s Metabolic Health
When unexplained symptoms or family health patterns create uncertainty, it’s natural to feel concerned. Our SLC25A20 Gene Test provides the answers you need to understand and manage carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase deficiency – a serious metabolic condition that can affect energy production and overall health.
Understanding the SLC25A20 Gene Test
This specialised genetic test examines the SLC25A20 gene, which plays a crucial role in your body’s energy production system. When this gene doesn’t function properly, it can lead to carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase deficiency – a condition that prevents your body from properly using fats for energy.
Using advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we analyse your DNA with exceptional accuracy to identify any mutations that could affect your metabolic health. This isn’t just a test – it’s a pathway to understanding your body’s unique genetic makeup.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Unexplained fatigue or low energy levels
- Muscle weakness or pain
- Developmental delays in children
- Family history of metabolic disorders
- Unexplained episodes of low blood sugar
- Liver function concerns
- Previous unexplained infant or childhood health issues in the family
Many South African families have found answers through genetic testing when traditional medical approaches couldn’t explain persistent symptoms.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Discovering a genetic predisposition to carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase deficiency isn’t about receiving bad news – it’s about gaining the power to take control of your health. Early detection allows for:
- Proactive Management: Work with healthcare providers to develop personalised treatment plans
- Preventive Care: Implement dietary and lifestyle changes before symptoms become severe
- Family Planning: Make informed decisions about family health with genetic counselling
- Peace of Mind: Replace uncertainty with clear understanding and actionable information
- Cost Savings: Potentially avoid expensive emergency treatments through early intervention
