Find Answers for Unexplained Weight Challenges and Fatigue
If you’ve been struggling with persistent weight issues, overwhelming fatigue, and distinctive red hair that seem to run in your family, you’re not alone. The POMC Gene Obesity with Adrenal Insufficiency and Red Hair NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity you need to understand your unique genetic makeup and take control of your health journey.
Understanding Your POMC Gene Test
The POMC gene plays a crucial role in regulating your appetite, metabolism, and stress response. When this gene has specific mutations, it can lead to early-onset obesity, adrenal insufficiency (affecting your body’s stress response), and distinctive red hair pigmentation. Our advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your POMC gene with exceptional accuracy, providing you with definitive answers about this genetic condition.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Early-onset obesity that doesn’t respond to conventional weight management
- Persistent fatigue, weakness, or dizziness that affects daily life
- Distinctive red hair that appears in multiple family members
- Family history of similar symptoms across generations
- Unexplained metabolic challenges despite healthy lifestyle efforts
Many South African patients find relief in finally understanding the genetic basis of their health challenges.
