SHBG Gene Androgen-Binding Protein Deficiency NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction
The SHBG Gene Androgen-Binding Protein Deficiency NGS Genetic DNA Test is an advanced diagnostic tool that plays a vital role in understanding hormonal imbalances within the body. SHBG (Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin) is a protein that binds to sex hormones, including testosterone and estrogen, regulating their bioavailability in the bloodstream. This test utilizes Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to provide a comprehensive analysis of the SHBG gene, helping to identify potential deficiencies that may lead to various health issues.
What the Test Measures
This genetic test measures the presence and functionality of the SHBG gene, which is crucial for the regulation of sex hormones. By analyzing the genetic sequences, the test can detect mutations or deficiencies that may contribute to hormonal disorders.
Who Should Consider This Test
Individuals experiencing symptoms related to hormonal imbalances, such as:
- Unexplained weight gain or loss
- Irregular menstrual cycles
- Decreased libido
- Fatigue
- Signs of hyperandrogenism (e.g., hirsutism, acne)
Additionally, those with a family history of endocrine disorders or other risk factors should consider this test for a better understanding of their genetic predisposition.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Early detection of hormonal imbalances
- Personalized treatment plans based on genetic findings
- Informed decision-making regarding health and lifestyle choices
- Peace of mind through understanding genetic health risks
