Find Clarity About Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia Type 18
Living with unexplained chronic respiratory symptoms can feel overwhelming and isolating. If you or your loved one experiences persistent breathing difficulties, recurrent infections, or fertility challenges, our DNAAF5 gene test offers the answers you’ve been searching for. We understand the anxiety that comes with unexplained health concerns, and we’re here to provide the clarity and guidance you need to take control of your health journey.
Understanding Your DNAAF5 Gene Test
The DNAAF5 gene test is a specialised genetic examination that identifies mutations in the DNAAF5 gene, which are responsible for Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia Type 18. This condition affects the tiny hair-like structures called cilia that line your respiratory tract, leading to chronic respiratory symptoms and potential fertility issues. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology provides the most accurate and comprehensive analysis available, giving you reliable results you can trust for making important health decisions.
Who Should Consider This Important Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your child experience:
- Chronic cough and recurrent respiratory infections since childhood
- Persistent sinusitis and nasal congestion that doesn’t respond to typical treatments
- Frequent middle ear infections or hearing difficulties
- Unexplained fertility issues in adults
- Family history of similar respiratory or fertility concerns
- Situs inversus (organs on opposite sides of the body)
Early detection through genetic testing can help guide appropriate treatment and management strategies, potentially preventing long-term complications.
Why This Test Matters for Your Health Journey
Getting tested for DNAAF5 mutations provides several crucial benefits:
- Accurate Diagnosis: Move beyond symptom management to understand the root cause of your health concerns
- Personalised Treatment: Work with your healthcare provider to develop targeted management strategies
- Family Planning Insights: Understand inheritance patterns and make informed decisions about family planning
- Peace of Mind: Reduce uncertainty and anxiety by having clear, definitive answers
- Early Intervention: Implement appropriate care strategies before complications develop
