Understanding Your Genetic Health: HSD17B3 Gene Testing for Hormonal Development
We understand that concerns about hormonal development and genetic conditions can be overwhelming. If you or your loved one is experiencing developmental concerns, gynecomastia, or has a family history of pseudohermaphroditism, you’re not alone. Our HSD17B3 gene test provides the clarity and answers you need to make informed health decisions with confidence and peace of mind.
What Does This Test Detect?
The HSD17B3 gene test examines specific genetic mutations that affect testosterone production in the body. When this gene doesn’t function properly, it can lead to conditions like pseudohermaphroditism with gynecomastia – where individuals may have external female characteristics but internal male reproductive structures. Our advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology provides the most accurate analysis available, giving you definitive answers about your genetic makeup.
Who Should Consider This Test?
- Individuals with delayed or atypical puberty development
- Those experiencing gynecomastia (breast tissue development in males)
- People with family history of hormonal development disorders
- Individuals with ambiguous genitalia at birth
- Those concerned about infertility or reproductive health issues
- Parents noticing developmental concerns in their children
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Getting tested early can provide life-changing benefits. Understanding your genetic profile helps healthcare providers create targeted treatment plans, potentially preventing complications and improving quality of life. Early diagnosis allows for appropriate medical interventions, psychological support, and informed family planning decisions. Many patients experience significant relief simply from having definitive answers after years of uncertainty.

We know waiting for genetic test results can be anxiety-provoking. That’s why we provide comprehensive genetic counselling before and after testing. Our experts will explain your results in clear, understandable terms and discuss what they mean for your health and future.
