Protecting Your Newborn’s Heart Health: Advanced CRHR1 Gene Testing
As a parent, nothing matters more than your newborn’s health. When facing concerns about pulmonary hypertension, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. At Oracle Genomics, we understand the anxiety that comes with potential genetic conditions affecting your baby’s heart and lungs. Our CRHR1 Gene Pulmonary Newborn Hypertension NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity and answers you need to make confident healthcare decisions for your precious little one.
Understanding the CRHR1 Gene Test
This advanced genetic test specifically examines the CRHR1 gene, which plays a crucial role in regulating blood pressure in the lungs. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to pulmonary hypertension – a serious condition where blood pressure in the lung arteries becomes dangerously high. Our Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology provides the most comprehensive analysis available, detecting even the smallest genetic variations with exceptional accuracy.
Unlike standard tests, our NGS approach examines the entire CRHR1 gene sequence, ensuring no potential mutation goes undetected. This thorough analysis gives you and your healthcare team the complete picture needed for proper diagnosis and treatment planning.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important for newborns and infants showing signs of:
- Rapid breathing or shortness of breath
- Bluish skin colour (cyanosis), especially around lips and fingertips
- Poor feeding or difficulty gaining weight
- Excessive fatigue or lethargy
- Family history of pulmonary hypertension or genetic heart conditions
- Unexplained heart murmurs or abnormal heart sounds
If your newborn has been diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension or shows concerning symptoms, this test can provide crucial genetic information to guide their treatment journey.
