Find Answers for Unexplained Metabolic Symptoms with PDHX Gene Testing
When your body struggles with energy production, it can feel like you’re fighting an invisible battle. Unexplained fatigue, muscle weakness, and developmental concerns in children can be overwhelming and frightening. Our PDHX Gene Lacticacidemia Test provides the clarity you deserve, using cutting-edge NGS technology to identify PDX1 deficiency – a genetic condition that affects how your body processes energy.
Understanding PDHX Gene Lacticacidemia Testing
This specialised genetic test examines your PDHX gene for mutations that cause PDX1 deficiency, a rare metabolic disorder affecting the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. Think of this complex as your body’s energy factory – when it doesn’t work properly, lactic acid builds up, causing the symptoms you may be experiencing. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology provides the most accurate analysis available, giving you definitive answers about your genetic health.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your child experiences:
- Unexplained fatigue and muscle weakness that doesn’t improve with rest
- Developmental delays or neurological symptoms in children
- Recurrent episodes of lactic acidosis (high lactic acid levels)
- Family history of metabolic disorders or unexplained infant deaths
- Poor growth or failure to thrive in infants and children
- Exercise intolerance beyond normal limits
Many South African families have found life-changing answers through this testing, enabling proper management and improved quality of life.
