Find Clarity About Adrenal Health with CYP11B1 Gene Testing
Are you or your child experiencing unexplained hormonal changes, early puberty, or concerns about adrenal function? The uncertainty can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. Our CYP11B1 gene test provides the definitive answers you need to understand 11-beta-hydroxylase deficiency – a rare genetic condition that affects how your body produces essential hormones.
Understanding Your CYP11B1 Genetic Test
This advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) test examines the CYP11B1 gene, which plays a crucial role in producing cortisol and other steroid hormones in your adrenal glands. When this gene isn’t working properly, it can lead to adrenal hyperplasia and serious hormonal imbalances that affect growth, development, and overall health.
Think of it as getting a detailed blueprint of your body’s hormonal regulation system – knowledge that can guide proper treatment and prevent complications.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your child experience:
- Unexplained high blood pressure, especially in childhood
- Early signs of puberty or virilisation in girls
- Growth abnormalities or delayed development
- Family history of adrenal disorders or hormonal imbalances
- Ambiguous genitalia at birth
- Unexplained fatigue, weakness, or salt cravings
Many South African families have found answers through genetic testing, gaining control over conditions that previously seemed mysterious and unmanageable.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Getting tested isn’t just about diagnosis – it’s about prevention and proper management. Early detection of 11-beta-hydroxylase deficiency can:
- Prevent serious complications like severe hypertension
- Guide appropriate hormone replacement therapy
