Find Answers for Persistent Iron Deficiency Anaemia
If you’ve been taking iron supplements but still feel exhausted, weak, and struggling with anaemia symptoms, you’re not alone. Many South Africans face the frustration of iron deficiency that doesn’t respond to standard treatments. Our TMPRSS6 Gene Iron-Refractory Iron Deficiency Anaemia NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity you need to understand why traditional approaches haven’t worked and what you can do about it.
Understanding Your TMPRSS6 Genetic Test
This specialised genetic test examines your TMPRSS6 gene using advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology. The TMPRSS6 gene plays a crucial role in regulating how your body manages iron levels. When this gene has mutations, it can disrupt your body’s ability to properly absorb and utilise iron, leading to iron-refractory iron deficiency anaemia – a condition where standard iron treatments provide little relief.
Unlike routine blood tests that measure current iron levels, this genetic test looks at the underlying cause of your iron absorption problems, giving you and your healthcare team valuable insights for developing more effective treatment strategies.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Persistent fatigue and weakness despite iron supplementation
- Anaemia symptoms that don’t improve with oral iron treatment
- Family history of iron deficiency anaemia
- Need for frequent intravenous iron therapy
- Unexplained iron deficiency despite adequate dietary intake
- Multiple failed attempts at iron therapy
If you’ve been told your iron levels should be normal but you still feel unwell, this test could provide the missing piece to your health puzzle.
