Find Clarity About Citrin Deficiency with Advanced Genetic Testing
When you’re concerned about unexplained metabolic symptoms or have a family history of citrin deficiency, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our SLC25A13 gene test provides the definitive answers you need to understand your genetic health and make informed decisions for your future.
Understanding the SLC25A13 Gene Test
This advanced genetic test examines your SLC25A13 gene using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology – the gold standard in genetic analysis. Citrin deficiency is caused by mutations in this specific gene, which plays a crucial role in your body’s ability to process proteins and carbohydrates properly. When this gene isn’t functioning correctly, it can lead to serious metabolic complications that affect liver function and neurological development.
Our test provides comprehensive analysis of the entire SLC25A13 gene, identifying even the smallest genetic variations that could indicate citrin deficiency. This level of detail ensures you receive the most accurate results possible.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your loved ones experience:
- Unexplained liver dysfunction or elevated liver enzymes
- Neurological symptoms like seizures, confusion, or developmental delays
- Family history of citrin deficiency or similar metabolic disorders
- Unexplained metabolic crises, especially after high-protein meals
- Planning pregnancy with known family history of metabolic conditions
Many South Africans live with undiagnosed metabolic conditions for years. Early detection through genetic testing can provide the clarity needed to manage symptoms effectively and prevent serious complications.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Identifying citrin deficiency early can transform your health journey by:
- Preventing Metabolic Crises: Knowing your genetic status helps you avoid dietary triggers that could lead to serious health emergencies
- Personalised Treatment Plans: Your healthcare team can create targeted management strategies based on your specific genetic profile
- Family Planning Confidence: Understand inheritance patterns and make informed decisions about starting a family
- Peace of Mind: Replace uncertainty with clear understanding of your genetic health status
- Proactive Health Management: Take control of your health before symptoms become severe
Understanding Your Results with Professional Support
We understand that waiting for genetic test results can be anxiety-provoking. That’s why we include comprehensive genetic counselling with every test. Our certified genetic counsellors will:
- Explain your results in clear, understandable language
- Discuss what your results mean for your health and lifestyle
- Help you understand inheritance patterns and family implications
- Provide guidance on next steps and management options
