Understanding Your Genetic Health: NR3C2 Gene Testing for Pseudohypoaldosteronism Type 1
If you or your family members experience unexplained salt cravings, fatigue, or have been diagnosed with electrolyte imbalances, you might be living with the uncertainty of Pseudohypoaldosteronism Type 1. This genetic condition affects how your body regulates salt and water balance, and understanding your NR3C2 gene status can provide the clarity you need to manage your health effectively.
What Does This Test Detect?
Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines the NR3C2 gene for specific mutations that cause autosomal dominant Pseudohypoaldosteronism Type 1. This condition disrupts your body’s ability to respond to aldosterone, a hormone crucial for maintaining proper salt and water balance. By identifying these genetic variations, we help you understand your risk and take proactive steps toward better health management.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Unexplained salt cravings or excessive thirst
- Recurrent dehydration despite adequate fluid intake
- Family history of electrolyte imbalances or salt-wasting conditions
- Diagnosis of Pseudohypoaldosteronism in family members
- Unexplained fatigue, weakness, or muscle cramps
- Children with failure to thrive or feeding difficulties
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Identifying NR3C2 gene mutations early can transform your health journey. With accurate genetic information, you and your healthcare provider can develop personalised management strategies, potentially preventing severe complications like dehydration crises, growth issues in children, and chronic fatigue. Early detection means earlier intervention and better quality of life.

Our genetic counsellors provide clear, compassionate explanations of your results. Whether your test shows a mutation or not, we guide you through the implications and next steps.
