Find Clarity for Chronic Respiratory and Fertility Concerns
Living with unexplained chronic coughs, sinus infections, or fertility challenges can feel overwhelming and isolating. If you’ve been searching for answers about persistent respiratory symptoms or reproductive health concerns, our DNAL1 Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia Type 16 genetic test provides the definitive clarity you deserve. This advanced DNA analysis helps identify the root cause of ciliary dysfunction that affects multiple body systems, giving you and your healthcare team the information needed to create an effective management plan.
Understanding Your DNAL1 Genetic Test
The DNAL1 gene plays a crucial role in creating healthy cilia – the microscopic hair-like structures that line your respiratory tract, reproductive organs, and other body systems. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia Type 16, a condition where cilia don’t function properly. Our Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your DNAL1 gene with exceptional accuracy, identifying even subtle genetic variations that might be causing your symptoms. This isn’t just a test – it’s a pathway to understanding your body’s unique genetic blueprint.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your child experience:
- Chronic cough and respiratory infections from infancy
- Persistent sinusitis and nasal congestion
- Recurrent middle ear infections
- Unexplained fertility issues in both men and women
- Family history of similar respiratory or reproductive concerns
- Situs inversus (organs on opposite sides of the body)
- Bronchiectasis or chronic lung damage
Many South African patients spend years seeking answers for these symptoms. Our test can provide the genetic confirmation needed to end this diagnostic journey and begin effective treatment.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Identifying DNAL1 mutations early can significantly improve your quality of life and prevent complications. With a confirmed diagnosis, you can:
- Receive targeted treatments to manage respiratory symptoms effectively
- Prevent progressive lung damage through proactive care
- Make informed family planning decisions with genetic counselling
- Access specialised care from ENT and respiratory specialists
- Reduce hospitalisations through proper symptom management
- Connect with support communities who understand your condition
Early detection transforms uncertainty into actionable health strategies.
