GNRHR Gene Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism Type 7 with or without Anosmia NGS Genetic DNA Test
Comprehensive Genetic Testing for Hormonal Disorders
The GNRHR Gene Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism Type 7 NGS Genetic DNA Test represents a breakthrough in endocrine genetic diagnostics. This advanced test specifically targets mutations in the Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Receptor (GNRHR) gene, which plays a crucial role in regulating reproductive hormone production and function. Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism type 7 is a rare genetic condition characterized by insufficient production of sex hormones due to impaired signaling from the hypothalamus to the pituitary gland.
What This Test Measures and Detects
Our NGS Genetic DNA Test employs cutting-edge Next-Generation Sequencing technology to comprehensively analyze the GNRHR gene for:
- Point mutations affecting gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor function
- Insertions and deletions that disrupt normal receptor signaling
- Missense mutations impacting hormone binding and activation
- Genetic variants associated with both isolated hypogonadism and combined anosmia presentations
- Inheritance patterns to determine familial risk factors
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test
This specialized genetic test is recommended for individuals experiencing:
- Delayed or absent puberty beyond age 14 in females and age 15 in males
- Primary or secondary amenorrhea in women
- Infertility issues with unexplained causes
- Low testosterone levels in men without apparent cause
- Reduced or absent sense of smell (anosmia or hyposmia)
- Family history of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism
- Unexplained hormonal imbalances affecting reproductive health
- Children with growth delays and suspected endocrine disorders
Clinical Benefits of Early Detection
Early genetic diagnosis through our GNRHR Gene Test provides numerous clinical advantages:
- Enables targeted hormone replacement therapy strategies
- Facilitates informed family planning decisions
- Provides clarity for unexplained infertility cases
- Allows for proactive management of associated health risks
- Supports genetic counseling for family members
- Helps differentiate between various forms of hypogonadism
- Guides appropriate timing for puberty induction when needed
Understanding Your Test Results
Our comprehensive genetic counseling service helps you interpret your results with clarity and confidence:
Positive Result Interpretation
A positive result indicates the presence of pathogenic mutations in the GNRHR gene. This confirms the diagnosis of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism type 7 and provides valuable information for treatment planning. Our genetic counselors will discuss:
- Specific mutation implications for hormone therapy
- Reproductive health management strategies
- Family screening recommendations
- Long-term health monitoring requirements
Negative Result Interpretation
A negative result suggests that no disease-causing mutations were detected in the GNRHR gene. However, this doesn’t completely rule out hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, as other genetic or non-genetic factors may be involved. Further evaluation may be recommended based on clinical presentation.
Variant of Uncertain Significance
In some cases, genetic variants of uncertain significance may be identified. These require careful clinical correlation and may involve additional family member testing for clarification.
