Understanding Your Risk: AIP Gene Pituitary Adenoma Genetic Testing
If you’ve been worrying about unexplained hormonal changes, vision problems, or have a family history of pituitary issues, you’re not alone. Many South Africans face uncertainty about their genetic health, especially when it comes to conditions that can affect daily life and long-term wellbeing. Our AIP Gene Pituitary Adenoma Prolactin-Secreting Genetic DNA Test provides the answers you need to take control of your health journey.
What This Test Detects
This specialised genetic test examines the AIP gene for specific mutations that can lead to prolactin-secreting pituitary adenomas. These are benign tumours in the pituitary gland that produce excess prolactin, potentially causing symptoms like irregular periods, infertility, milk production in non-pregnant women, and decreased libido in men. Using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we provide the most accurate analysis available.
Who Should Consider This Test
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Unexplained hormonal imbalances or changes
- Family history of pituitary tumours or endocrine disorders
- Vision problems or headaches without clear cause
- Reproductive health concerns like infertility or irregular periods
- Early-onset pituitary adenoma diagnosis (before age 30)
- Multiple family members with similar endocrine symptoms
If any of these sound familiar, genetic testing could provide the clarity you need.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Discovering an AIP gene mutation early can be life-changing. Benefits include:
- Proactive Health Management: Early detection allows for regular monitoring and timely intervention
- Family Planning Insights: Understand genetic risks for future generations
- Peace of Mind: Reduce uncertainty about your health future
