Understanding LDHB Gene Deficiency: Your Path to Clarity and Control
If you’ve been struggling with persistent fatigue, muscle weakness that doesn’t make sense, or find yourself unable to keep up with physical activities you once enjoyed, you’re not alone. These frustrating symptoms could be pointing to Lactate Dehydrogenase-B deficiency – a rare genetic condition that affects how your body processes energy. At Oracle Genomics, we understand how concerning these unexplained symptoms can be, and we’re here to provide the answers you need with compassion and medical expertise.
What This Test Reveals About Your Health
The LDHB Gene test uses cutting-edge Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to examine your LDHB gene for mutations that cause Lactate Dehydrogenase-B deficiency. This enzyme plays a crucial role in converting lactate (a byproduct of exercise) back into usable energy. When this process doesn’t work properly, it can lead to the symptoms you may be experiencing. Our test provides a comprehensive analysis that goes beyond surface-level symptoms to identify the genetic root cause.
Is This Test Right for You?
You should consider this test if you experience:
- Unexplained chronic fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest
- Muscle weakness or pain during normal activities
- Exercise intolerance – feeling exhausted after minimal physical effort
- Family history of similar symptoms or diagnosed metabolic disorders
- Elevated lactate levels in previous blood tests
- Children showing delayed motor development or poor exercise tolerance
Many South Africans dismiss these symptoms as ‘just getting older’ or ‘not being fit enough,’ but they could indicate an underlying genetic condition that deserves proper attention.
