Understanding FERMT3 Gene Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency Type 3: Your Path to Answers
When your body’s immune system doesn’t function properly, it can feel overwhelming and frightening. Recurrent infections, unusual bleeding, and slow healing can disrupt daily life and create constant worry. At Oracle Genomics, we understand the emotional toll of unexplained immune symptoms, and we’re here to provide the clarity you deserve through our specialised FERMT3 genetic testing.
What Does This Test Detect?
The FERMT3 Gene Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency Type 3 test uses Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify specific mutations in your FERMT3 gene. This gene plays a critical role in helping your white blood cells (leukocytes) move to infection sites and fight off pathogens. When this gene isn’t working correctly, your immune system struggles to respond effectively to infections.
Think of it as your body’s security system – the FERMT3 gene ensures your immune cells can reach where they’re needed most. Our test provides the most comprehensive analysis available in South Africa, giving you and your healthcare provider the information needed for proper diagnosis and management.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your child experiences:
- Frequent, severe bacterial infections that don’t respond well to treatment
- Delayed wound healing or unusual scarring
- Abnormal bleeding or bruising without obvious cause
- Recurrent gum inflammation and oral infections
- Family history of immune system disorders
- Unexplained skin infections or abscesses
- Persistent umbilical cord separation issues in newborns
Many South African families have found answers through genetic testing when traditional diagnostic methods provided incomplete information.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Identifying FERMT3 gene mutations early can transform your healthcare journey:
- Accurate Diagnosis: Move from uncertainty to clear understanding of your condition
- Targeted Treatment: Work with your doctor to develop personalised management strategies
- Prevent Complications: Reduce hospitalisations and severe infections through proactive care
