Find Clarity About Your Liver Health with SLCO1B3 Genetic Testing
If you’ve been struggling with unexplained jaundice, persistent yellowing of the skin or eyes, or elevated bilirubin levels without clear cause, you’re not alone. Many South Africans face the uncertainty of undiagnosed liver conditions that affect their daily lives and peace of mind. Our SLCO1B3 Gene Hyperbilirubinemia Rotor Type NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the definitive answers you deserve, helping you understand your genetic makeup and take control of your health journey.
Understanding Your SLCO1B3 Genetic Test
The SLCO1B3 gene plays a crucial role in how your liver processes bilirubin – the yellow pigment that can cause jaundice when levels become elevated. When this gene doesn’t function properly due to genetic variations, it can lead to Rotor syndrome, a benign inherited condition characterised by elevated bilirubin levels without liver damage. Our advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your SLCO1B3 gene with exceptional precision, identifying any genetic variations that may be affecting your bilirubin metabolism.
Unlike standard liver function tests that only show elevated levels, our genetic test provides the why behind your symptoms, giving you and your healthcare provider the complete picture needed for proper management and peace of mind.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Persistent or recurrent jaundice without liver damage
- Unexplained elevated bilirubin levels in blood tests
- Yellowing of the skin or eyes that comes and goes
- Family history of similar liver-related symptoms
- Concerns about passing genetic conditions to children
- Need for clarity after inconclusive standard liver tests
Many patients find relief in finally understanding the genetic basis of their symptoms, moving from uncertainty to informed health management.
