Understanding Your Genetic Health: IGF1R Gene Resistance Testing
When you’re facing unexplained growth concerns, metabolic issues, or suspect insulin resistance patterns in your family, it can feel overwhelming and confusing. You deserve clear answers and a path forward. Our IGF1R Gene Insulin-like Growth Factor Resistance NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the scientific clarity you need to understand your body’s unique genetic makeup and take proactive steps toward better health.
What This Test Reveals About Your Health
The IGF1R gene plays a crucial role in how your body responds to insulin-like growth factors – essential hormones that regulate growth, metabolism, and cellular development. When this gene has variations, it can lead to resistance, meaning your body doesn’t respond properly to these important growth signals. Our advanced NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) technology examines your DNA with exceptional accuracy to identify these genetic variations, giving you insights that simple blood tests cannot provide.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Unexplained growth delays or abnormalities in children
- Persistent metabolic concerns despite lifestyle changes
- Family history of insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes
- Unexplained weight management challenges
- Developmental concerns in multiple family members
- Suspected genetic patterns affecting growth and metabolism
Many South Africans live with these concerns without understanding the underlying genetic factors. This test provides the missing piece to your health puzzle.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health Journey

- Receive personalised health recommendations based on your genetic profile
- Make informed decisions about treatment and management strategies
