Understanding SLC7A7 Gene Lysinuric Protein Intolerance: Your Path to Metabolic Health Clarity
Living with unexplained protein intolerance can be confusing and worrying. When your body struggles to process protein properly, it affects your energy levels, growth, and overall wellbeing. Our SLC7A7 Gene Test provides the definitive answers you need to understand your metabolic health and take control of your nutritional future.
What Does This Test Detect?
The SLC7A7 gene test uses advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify mutations in the SLC7A7 gene that cause lysinuric protein intolerance. This rare metabolic disorder prevents your body from properly absorbing certain amino acids from protein-rich foods, leading to digestive distress, growth issues, and potential organ complications if left undiagnosed.
Our test provides comprehensive analysis of the entire SLC7A7 gene, detecting even the smallest genetic variations that could impact your protein metabolism. With 99.9% accuracy, you can trust the results to guide your healthcare decisions.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Unexplained digestive issues after eating protein-rich foods
- Failure to thrive or growth delays in children
- Family history of metabolic disorders or protein intolerance
- Unexplained fatigue, weakness, or muscle wasting
- Respiratory issues or frequent lung infections
- Developmental delays or learning difficulties
- Liver or kidney function abnormalities
If you’ve been searching for answers about why certain foods don’t agree with you, this test could provide the clarity you need.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Getting tested for SLC7A7 gene mutations offers life-changing benefits:
- Prevent Serious Complications: Early detection allows for proper dietary management before organ damage occurs
- Personalised Nutrition Plans: Understand exactly which proteins your body can process effectively
- Family Planning Guidance: Make informed decisions about genetic risks for future children
- Peace of Mind: End the uncertainty and anxiety of unexplained symptoms
- Improved Quality of Life: Proper management can significantly reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning
