Find Answers for Unexplained Neurological Symptoms with Our PDHB Gene Test
When your child or family member experiences mysterious neurological symptoms, developmental delays, or metabolic concerns, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our PDHB Gene Pyruvate Dehydrogenase E1-Beta Deficiency test provides the clarity you need to understand these complex health challenges and take proactive steps toward better management and treatment.
Understanding the PDHB Gene Test
This advanced genetic test examines the PDHB gene, which plays a crucial role in your body’s energy production system. When this gene doesn’t function properly, it can lead to pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency – a serious metabolic disorder that affects how your cells convert food into energy. Using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we provide the most accurate analysis available to identify potential genetic mutations.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Unexplained neurological symptoms in infancy or childhood
- Developmental delays or regression
- Seizures that don’t respond to standard treatments
- Muscle weakness or poor muscle tone
- Family history of metabolic disorders
- Abnormal brain development findings on scans
- Lactic acidosis episodes
Early detection can make a significant difference in managing symptoms and preventing complications.
