Understanding HADHA Gene Deficiency: Your Path to Clarity and Peace of Mind
If you’re concerned about unexplained symptoms, family history of metabolic disorders, or planning for a healthy family, the HADHA gene test provides the answers you need. This rare metabolic condition affects how your body processes fats for energy, and early detection can be life-saving. We understand the anxiety that comes with genetic concerns, which is why we’ve created a supportive, professional testing environment that puts your peace of mind first.
What Does This Test Detect?
The HADHA gene test identifies mutations in the HADHA gene that cause Long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (LCHAD deficiency). This condition prevents your body from properly breaking down certain fats for energy, particularly during periods of fasting or illness. Using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we examine your DNA with exceptional accuracy to detect even the smallest genetic variations that could impact your health.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is especially important if you or your family members experience:
- Unexplained low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) in infants or children
- Muscle weakness, pain, or breakdown (rhabdomyolysis)
- Liver problems or enlarged liver
- Eye abnormalities or vision problems
- Developmental delays or growth concerns
- Family history of sudden infant death or metabolic disorders
- Planning pregnancy with known family history of LCHAD deficiency
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Identifying HADHA gene mutations early can transform health outcomes. With proper diagnosis, healthcare providers can implement dietary management, monitor for complications, and prevent life-threatening metabolic crises. For families, this knowledge provides the power to make informed decisions about treatment, lifestyle adjustments, and future family planning. The peace of mind that comes with clear answers is invaluable.
