Understanding Your Reproductive Health: TAC3 Gene Hypogonadism Testing
If you’ve been struggling with unexplained infertility, delayed puberty, or changes in your sense of smell, you’re not alone. Many South Africans face these challenges without understanding the underlying genetic causes. Our TAC3 Gene Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism Type 10 test provides the clarity you deserve, helping you understand your body’s unique genetic makeup and take control of your reproductive health journey.
What This Test Reveals About Your Health
The TAC3 gene plays a crucial role in your body’s hormonal regulation system. When mutations occur in this gene, it can disrupt the normal production of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), leading to hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. This condition affects your body’s ability to produce adequate sex hormones, potentially causing delayed puberty, infertility, and in some cases, anosmia (complete or partial loss of smell).
Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your TAC3 gene with exceptional precision, identifying even the smallest genetic variations that could be impacting your health.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Delayed or absent puberty beyond age 14
- Unexplained infertility or reproductive challenges
- Complete or partial loss of smell (anosmia)
- Family history of hormonal disorders or infertility
- Low libido or sexual development concerns
- Irregular menstrual cycles in women
- Reduced facial/body hair growth in men
Many South African patients find relief in finally understanding the genetic basis of their symptoms, enabling targeted treatment approaches.
