Take Control of Your Genetic Health Journey
If you’ve been worrying about hereditary cancer risks or experiencing unexplained symptoms, you’re not alone. Many South Africans carry genetic variations that could impact their health without even knowing it. Our SDHD Gene Paragangliomas Type 1 test provides the answers you need to make informed decisions about your health future.
Understanding Your SDHD Genetic Test
This specialised test examines your SDHD gene using advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology – the gold standard in genetic testing. The SDHD gene plays a crucial role in your body’s energy production, and mutations in this gene can lead to paragangliomas, which are rare tumours that develop in nerve tissue. These tumours may occur with or without associated hearing loss, making comprehensive testing essential for accurate diagnosis and management.
Our test provides 99.9% accuracy, giving you reliable results you can trust when making important health decisions.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Unexplained high blood pressure that’s difficult to control
- Episodes of rapid heartbeat, sweating, or headaches
- Family history of paragangliomas or pheochromocytomas
- Hearing loss that runs in your family
- Multiple family members with endocrine tumours
- Personal history of tumours in nerve tissue
Early detection through genetic testing can be life-saving, allowing for regular monitoring and timely intervention if needed.
Why This Test Matters for Your Health
Knowing your genetic status empowers you to:
- Take proactive steps for early detection and monitoring
- Make informed family planning decisions
- Reduce anxiety through clarity and understanding
- Access appropriate screening and preventive measures
- Potentially prevent serious complications through early intervention
- Provide valuable information for your children and relatives
Peace of mind is priceless when it comes to your genetic health.
