Early Detection for Your Child’s Liver Health: HSD3B7 Gene Bile Acid Synthesis Defect Screening
As a parent, nothing matters more than your child’s health and wellbeing. When your newborn shows signs of persistent jaundice, poor growth, or unexplained liver issues, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our HSD3B7 Gene Bile Acid Synthesis Defect Type 1 Congenital NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity and answers you need to make informed healthcare decisions for your little one.
Understanding the HSD3B7 Gene Test
This specialised genetic screening examines the HSD3B7 gene, which plays a critical role in producing bile acids essential for digesting fats and absorbing vital nutrients. When this gene contains mutations, it can lead to bile acid synthesis defect type 1 – a rare congenital condition that affects liver function from birth. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology provides comprehensive analysis of this specific gene, identifying even the smallest genetic variations that could impact your child’s health.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Screening?
This test is particularly important for families experiencing:
- Persistent jaundice in newborns beyond the first two weeks
- Unexplained liver enlargement or liver function abnormalities
- Poor weight gain and growth delays in infants
- Family history of bile acid metabolism disorders
- Previous children with similar liver-related symptoms
- Consanguineous marriages where genetic risks may be higher
Early detection can make a significant difference in managing this condition effectively.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Child’s Future
Identifying bile acid synthesis defect type 1 early provides numerous health advantages:
- Prevent Progressive Liver Damage: Early intervention can protect your child’s liver from permanent damage
- Support Normal Development: Proper treatment helps ensure healthy growth and development
- Reduce Hospitalisation Needs: Timely management decreases the risk of severe complications requiring hospital care
- Family Planning Insights: Genetic counselling provides valuable information for future family planning decisions
- Peace of Mind: Knowing the exact cause of symptoms eliminates uncertainty and guides appropriate care
