Find Clarity About Hereditary Adrenal Tumours
When adrenal tumours run in your family, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. That persistent worry about whether you’ve inherited the genetic predisposition for pheochromocytoma – it’s a burden no one should carry alone. Our SDHB Gene Pheochromocytoma Type 2 NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the answers you need to move forward with confidence and take control of your health journey.
Understanding Your SDHB Gene Test
This isn’t just another medical test – it’s a pathway to understanding your genetic blueprint. The SDHB gene plays a crucial role in preventing tumour formation in your adrenal glands. When this gene carries specific mutations, it can lead to pheochromocytoma – rare tumours that produce excess adrenaline, causing symptoms like severe high blood pressure, heart palpitations, and anxiety episodes.
Using advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we examine your SDHB gene with exceptional accuracy. This isn’t guesswork; it’s precise genetic analysis that gives you definitive answers about your hereditary cancer risk.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test could be life-changing if you experience:
- A family history of adrenal tumours or pheochromocytoma
- Unexplained episodes of high blood pressure that don’t respond to medication
- Sudden heart palpitations, sweating, or headaches without clear cause
- Previous diagnosis of paraganglioma (related tumours)
- Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 in your family
- Young-onset hypertension (before age 40)
Many South Africans live with these symptoms, unaware they might indicate a hereditary condition. Getting tested means either finding peace of mind or getting the early intervention that could save your life.
Why This Matters for Your Health Journey
Knowledge is power when it comes to hereditary cancer risks. By understanding your SDHB gene status, you gain:
- Early Detection Advantage: Identify risk before symptoms become severe
- Family Planning Insights: Understand risks for your children and future generations
- Personalised Monitoring: Create targeted screening schedules with your doctor
- Treatment Guidance: Inform your healthcare team for better management strategies
- Peace of Mind: Replace uncertainty with clear, actionable information
South African families deserve access to this level of genetic insight, whether you’re in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, or anywhere across our beautiful nation.
