Understanding DBH Deficiency: Your Path to Answers
Living with unexplained neurological symptoms can be frustrating and worrying. If you or your loved one experiences dizziness when standing, droopy eyelids, or developmental concerns, you deserve clear answers. Our DBH Gene Dopamine Beta-Hydroxylase Deficiency test provides the definitive diagnosis you need to move forward with confidence.
What This Test Detects
This advanced genetic test examines the DBH gene responsible for converting dopamine to norepinephrine. When this gene doesn’t function properly, it can lead to DBH deficiency – a rare condition affecting the autonomic nervous system. Our Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology provides comprehensive analysis of this critical gene, identifying mutations that could be impacting your health.
Who Should Consider This Test
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Severe dizziness or fainting when standing up (orthostatic hypotension)
- Droopy eyelids (ptosis) that worsens throughout the day
- Developmental delays in childhood
- Exercise intolerance or temperature regulation issues
- Family history of similar neurological symptoms
- Unexplained autonomic nervous system dysfunction
Why Early Detection Matters
Identifying DBH deficiency early can significantly improve quality of life. With proper diagnosis, targeted treatments can help manage symptoms effectively. Knowing your genetic status provides:
- Clear treatment direction with your healthcare provider
- Better management of daily symptoms
- Peace of mind for family planning decisions
- Understanding of inheritance patterns for future generations
- Reduced anxiety through definitive answers
