Find Clarity About Birt-Hogg-Dubé Syndrome Risk
When you’re concerned about a rare genetic condition like Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. We understand that waiting for answers about your genetic health creates anxiety and stress. Our FLCN gene test provides the definitive clarity you need to make informed decisions about your health and future.
Understanding Your FLCN Gene Test
Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that can affect multiple systems in your body, including your skin, lungs, and kidneys. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your FLCN gene with exceptional accuracy, looking for the specific mutations associated with this condition. This isn’t just a test – it’s a comprehensive health assessment that gives you and your healthcare team the information needed to create a proactive health management plan.
Who Should Consider This Important Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Multiple skin lesions or fibrofolliculomas on your face and neck
- Family history of spontaneous pneumothorax (collapsed lung)
- Personal or family history of kidney tumors or cancer
- Unexplained lung cysts or breathing difficulties
- Known family members with Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome diagnosis
If you’re planning a family and have concerns about genetic inheritance, this test can provide valuable insights for your future children’s health.
