We understand that searching for answers about D-bifunctional protein deficiency brings both hope and anxiety. At Oracle Genomics, we’re here to provide the clarity and confidence you deserve through our advanced genetic testing services available across South Africa.
Understanding the HSD17B4 Gene Test

Our HSD17B4 Gene Test uses Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to examine the specific gene responsible for this condition. Think of it as reading every letter in your genetic code to identify any variations that might indicate this rare disorder.
This isn’t just another test – it’s a comprehensive analysis that gives you definitive answers about your genetic health. Our method ensures 99.9% accuracy, providing you with reliable information to make informed decisions about your family’s health future.
