Understanding Your Liver Health: SLCO1B1 Gene Hyperbilirubinemia Testing
When you notice persistent yellowing of your skin or eyes, or feel unexplained fatigue, it’s natural to feel concerned about your liver health. These symptoms could indicate Hyperbilirubinemia Rotor type – a genetic condition that affects how your body processes bilirubin. At Oracle Genomics, we understand the anxiety that comes with unexplained health symptoms, which is why we offer comprehensive genetic testing to provide the clarity you deserve.
What This Test Reveals About Your Health
The SLCO1B1 Gene Hyperbilirubinemia Rotor Type NGS Genetic DNA Test examines specific genetic variations that affect your liver’s ability to process bilirubin – a natural substance produced when red blood cells break down. When the SLCO1B1 gene doesn’t function properly, bilirubin can build up in your bloodstream, leading to the characteristic yellowing of jaundice and other symptoms.
Using advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, our test provides the most accurate analysis available, detecting even the smallest genetic variations that traditional methods might miss.
Is This Test Right For You?
Consider this genetic test if you experience:
- Unexplained jaundice (yellowing of skin or eyes)
- Persistent fatigue without clear cause
- Family history of liver disorders or jaundice
- Abnormal liver function test results
- Concerns about passing genetic conditions to children
Many South Africans live with undiagnosed genetic liver conditions, often mistaking symptoms for stress or other common ailments. Early detection through genetic testing can provide the answers needed for proper management and peace of mind.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Getting tested for SLCO1B1 gene mutations offers significant benefits:
- Clarity and Peace of Mind: Understand the root cause of your symptoms rather than living with uncertainty
- Personalised Health Management: Work with your healthcare provider to develop a management plan tailored to your genetic profile
- Family Planning Insights: Understand the inheritance pattern and risks for future generations
- Prevention of Complications: Early detection helps prevent potential liver complications
- Reduced Medical Costs: Avoid unnecessary tests and treatments by identifying the precise genetic cause
Understanding Your Test Results
We know waiting for genetic test results can be anxiety-provoking. At Oracle Genomics, we provide clear, comprehensive reports that your healthcare provider can easily interpret. Our genetic counselling support ensures you understand what your results mean for your health and lifestyle.
Your results will clearly indicate whether SLCO1B1 gene mutations were detected and provide guidance on next steps. Most importantly, we’ll help you understand that having a genetic predisposition doesn’t mean you’ll necessarily develop severe symptoms – it simply means you have valuable information to manage your health proactively.
