Take Control of Your Genetic Health: SDHB Gene Paragangliomas Testing
When you’re worried about hereditary tumours running in your family, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. We understand that concern – the nagging questions about your genetic risk and what it means for your future health. Our SDHB Gene Paragangliomas Type 4 NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the answers you need to move forward with confidence and peace of mind.
Understanding Your SDHB Gene Test
The SDHB gene plays a crucial role in preventing the development of paragangliomas – rare tumours that can form in nerve tissue throughout your body. When this gene contains mutations, it significantly increases your risk of developing these hereditary conditions. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your SDHB gene with exceptional accuracy, identifying even the smallest genetic variations that could impact your health.
This isn’t just another test – it’s a comprehensive genetic analysis that gives you and your healthcare provider the information needed to create a personalised health management plan.
Who Should Consider This Important Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience any of these situations:
- You have a personal or family history of paragangliomas or pheochromocytomas
- Multiple family members have been diagnosed with rare tumours
- You’re experiencing unexplained high blood pressure, heart palpitations, or sweating episodes
- You have a known SDHB gene mutation in your family
- You’re planning a family and want to understand genetic risks
- Your doctor has recommended genetic testing based on your medical history
Many South Africans discover their genetic risks only after symptoms appear. This test helps you stay ahead of potential health concerns.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Knowing your SDHB gene status empowers you to take proactive steps for your health:
- Peace of Mind: Eliminate uncertainty about your genetic risk factors
- Early Intervention: Detect potential risks before symptoms develop
- Family Planning: Make informed decisions about starting a family
- Personalised Monitoring: Work with your doctor to create tailored screening schedules
- Family Awareness: Help relatives understand their potential risks
- Reduced Anxiety: Replace worry with actionable health information
Early detection through genetic testing can significantly improve health outcomes and quality of life.

- Positive Result: If a mutation is found, our genetic counsellors will explain what this means for your health and connect you with appropriate specialists
