Find Answers for Unexplained Digestive and Nutritional Issues
When your body struggles to absorb fats and essential nutrients, it can feel like you’re fighting an invisible battle. The constant fatigue, digestive discomfort, and nutritional deficiencies can impact every aspect of your life. Our SAR1B Gene Chylomicron Retention Disease Test provides the clarity you need to understand what’s happening inside your body and take control of your health journey.
Understanding Your SAR1B Gene Test
Chylomicron retention disease is a rare genetic condition that affects how your body processes dietary fats. The SAR1B gene plays a crucial role in transporting fats from your intestines into your bloodstream. When this gene has mutations, fats accumulate in your intestinal cells instead of being properly absorbed, leading to nutritional deficiencies and various health complications.
Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your SAR1B gene with exceptional accuracy, identifying even the smallest genetic variations that could be causing your symptoms.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your child experience:
- Chronic diarrhoea or fatty stools (steatorrhoea)
- Failure to thrive in infants and children
- Vitamin E and other fat-soluble vitamin deficiencies
- Neurological symptoms like poor coordination or vision problems
- Family history of similar digestive or nutritional issues
- Unexplained growth delays in children
Many patients spend years searching for answers – our genetic test can provide the definitive diagnosis needed for proper treatment.
