Find Answers for Chronic Respiratory Health Concerns
Living with persistent respiratory infections, sinus problems, or breathing difficulties can be exhausting and worrying. If you’ve been searching for answers about why you or your child experience these ongoing health challenges, our DNAAF1 gene test provides the clarity you need. Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia Type 13 affects the tiny hair-like structures called cilia that help clear mucus and protect your airways, and getting an accurate diagnosis is the first step toward effective management and improved quality of life.
Understanding Your DNAAF1 Genetic Test
This specialised test examines the DNAAF1 gene using advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify mutations that cause Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia Type 13. Think of cilia as microscopic brooms that sweep mucus, bacteria, and debris from your respiratory system. When these cilia don’t function properly due to genetic factors, it leads to the chronic symptoms many patients experience. Our test provides definitive answers about whether genetic factors are contributing to your respiratory health concerns.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your child experience:
- Chronic cough that persists despite treatment
- Frequent respiratory infections or pneumonia
- Persistent sinus infections and nasal congestion
- Middle ear infections in children
- Breathing difficulties from early childhood
- Family history of similar respiratory conditions
- Unexplained fertility issues in adults (related to cilia function)
Many patients spend years seeking answers for these symptoms. Our genetic test can provide the clarity needed to move forward with appropriate treatment and management strategies.
