Find Clarity About CAH Genetic Risks for Your Family
When congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) runs in your family, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. You deserve clear answers about genetic risks and the confidence that comes from knowing exactly what you’re dealing with. Our CAH deletion and duplication detection test provides that certainty, giving you and your healthcare team the precise genetic information needed for proper management and peace of mind.
Understanding CAH Deletion & Duplication Detection
This specialised genetic test examines your DNA for specific changes in the CYP21A2 gene that cause congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Unlike standard genetic screening, our test specifically looks for deletions (missing genetic material) and duplications (extra genetic material) that can disrupt normal adrenal function. Using advanced MLPA technology, we provide highly accurate results that help identify the exact genetic cause of CAH, enabling targeted treatment approaches and informed family planning decisions.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Family history of congenital adrenal hyperplasia
- Unexplained adrenal insufficiency symptoms
- Planning for pregnancy with known CAH risk factors
- Abnormal newborn screening results for CAH
- Diagnosed CAH requiring precise genetic confirmation
- Concerns about passing genetic conditions to children
Early detection through genetic testing can significantly improve treatment outcomes and quality of life for individuals with CAH.
Why This Matters for Your Health Journey
Getting precise genetic information about CAH provides multiple life-changing benefits:
- Accurate Diagnosis: Confirm or rule out specific genetic causes of CAH
- Personalised Treatment: Enable targeted medication and management strategies
- Family Planning Confidence: Make informed decisions about having children
- Early Intervention: Identify at-risk newborns for prompt treatment
- Peace of Mind: Reduce uncertainty about genetic risks
- Medical Certainty: Provide your healthcare team with precise genetic data
Understanding Your Test Results
We understand that waiting for genetic test results can be anxiety-provoking. Our team provides clear, comprehensive reports that your healthcare provider will review with you. Results typically indicate:
- Normal Result: No deletions or duplications detected in the CYP21A2 gene
- Carrier Status: One copy of the genetic change detected (usually no symptoms)
- Affected Status: Two copies of genetic changes detected (likely to develop CAH)
Your results come with professional genetic counselling recommendations to ensure you fully understand the implications for your health and family.
