Find Answers for Unexplained Bone and Joint Symptoms
If you’ve been struggling with persistent bone pain, joint swelling, or unusual finger changes without clear explanation, you’re not alone. Our HPGD Gene Hypertrophic Osteoarthropathy Type 1 NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity and answers you need to take control of your health journey.
Understanding Your HPGD Gene Test
This specialised genetic test examines your HPGD gene using advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify mutations that cause primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy. This rare genetic condition affects how your body processes certain substances, leading to abnormal bone growth and joint problems.
Think of it as a detailed genetic blueprint analysis – we’re looking for specific variations that could explain your symptoms and help guide your treatment path forward.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Unexplained bone pain that doesn’t respond to typical treatments
- Joint swelling or stiffness without arthritis diagnosis
- Finger clubbing (widening and rounding of fingertips)
- Family history of similar bone or joint conditions
- Skin thickening or excessive sweating
- Progressive symptoms that concern you or your doctor
Many patients come to us after years of uncertainty – finally getting answers can be life-changing.
