Understanding Your Immune Health: ITGB1 Gene Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency Testing
When recurrent infections and immune system concerns affect your family’s quality of life, finding answers becomes essential. Our ITGB1 Gene Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency NGS Genetic DNA Test offers South African families the clarity and confidence needed to address these challenging health issues head-on.
What This Test Reveals About Your Immune System
Leukocyte adhesion deficiency is a rare genetic condition that affects your body’s ability to fight infections. The ITGB1 gene provides instructions for making a protein essential for white blood cells to move to infection sites. When this gene has mutations, your immune system cannot respond effectively to bacterial and fungal infections.
Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your ITGB1 gene with exceptional accuracy, identifying even the smallest genetic variations that could impact your immune function.
Who Should Consider This Important Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your child experience:
- Frequent, severe bacterial infections from early childhood
- Delayed separation of the umbilical cord beyond 3 weeks
- Poor wound healing and recurrent skin infections
- Gum disease and oral infections despite good dental hygiene
- Family history of similar immune system issues
- Unexplained recurrent pneumonia or deep tissue infections
Early detection through genetic testing can significantly improve health outcomes and quality of life.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Family’s Health
Identifying leukocyte adhesion deficiency early provides numerous life-changing benefits:
- Prevent Serious Complications: Early intervention can prevent life-threatening infections
- Personalised Treatment Plans: Guide your healthcare team in creating effective management strategies
- Family Planning Insights: Understand inheritance patterns for future family decisions
- Peace of Mind: Replace uncertainty with clear understanding and actionable information
- Improved Quality of Life: Proper management can significantly reduce infection frequency and severity
