Find Clarity About Von-Gierke Disease Genetic Risks
When metabolic symptoms appear unexplained or family history suggests genetic concerns, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our G6PC Gene Von-Gierke Disease NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the definitive answers you need to protect your family’s health. Using cutting-edge next-generation sequencing technology, we deliver accurate, reliable results that empower informed healthcare decisions.
Understanding Your Von-Gierke Disease Genetic Test
Von-Gierke disease (Glycogen Storage Disease Type I) is a serious inherited metabolic disorder caused by mutations in the G6PC gene. This condition affects how your body processes glycogen, leading to potentially dangerous low blood sugar levels and other complications. Our advanced NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology examines your G6PC gene with precision, identifying even the smallest genetic variations that could indicate Von-Gierke disease.
The test is straightforward and requires only a simple blood sample or DNA extraction, making it accessible for patients of all ages across South Africa.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Unexplained low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) episodes
- Enlarged liver (hepatomegaly) without clear cause
- Growth delays in children
- High levels of lactate, uric acid, or lipids in blood tests
- Family history of metabolic disorders
- Unexplained seizures or developmental delays
If you’re planning a family and have concerns about genetic inheritance, this test can provide crucial information for family planning decisions.
