Find Answers for Unexplained Low Magnesium Levels
If you or your family members struggle with persistent magnesium deficiency despite supplementation, or face recurrent kidney stones and unexplained kidney issues, you’re not alone. Our CLDN16 Gene Hypomagnesemia Type 3 test provides the genetic clarity you need to understand your condition and take control of your health journey.
Understanding Your CLDN16 Gene Test
This advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) test examines your CLDN16 gene, which plays a crucial role in magnesium absorption in your kidneys. When this gene has mutations, it can lead to Hypomagnesemia Type 3 – a condition where your body struggles to retain magnesium, often accompanied by excessive calcium in urine and potential kidney damage.
Think of the CLDN16 gene as the gatekeeper for magnesium in your kidneys. When this gatekeeper isn’t working properly, valuable magnesium escapes through your urine, leaving your body deficient despite adequate intake.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Persistent low magnesium levels despite supplementation
- Recurrent kidney stones or urinary tract issues
- Family history of kidney problems or magnesium deficiency
- Unexplained muscle cramps, weakness, or fatigue
- Developmental delays in children with electrolyte imbalances
- Multiple family members with similar kidney or magnesium issues
Many South African families have found answers through genetic testing when traditional medical approaches couldn’t explain their persistent symptoms.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Identifying CLDN16 gene mutations early can significantly impact your long-term health outcomes:
- Prevent Kidney Damage: Early intervention can protect your kidneys from progressive damage
- Personalised Treatment: Receive targeted treatment strategies based on your genetic profile
- Family Planning: Understand inheritance patterns for future family planning decisions
- Peace of Mind: End the uncertainty and frustration of unexplained symptoms
