Find Clarity in Your Health Journey
When recurrent fevers, severe abdominal pain, and joint inflammation disrupt your life without explanation, it’s natural to feel anxious and uncertain. Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is a hereditary condition that often goes undiagnosed for years, leaving patients struggling with mysterious symptoms. Our MEFV Full Gene Analysis provides the definitive answers you deserve, using cutting-edge genetic technology to give you and your healthcare team the clarity needed for effective treatment.
Understanding Your Genetic Blueprint
The MEFV gene contains the instructions for making a protein called pyrin, which helps regulate inflammation in your body. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to uncontrolled inflammation episodes characteristic of Familial Mediterranean Fever. Our comprehensive analysis examines every part of your MEFV gene using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, ensuring we don’t miss any potential mutations that could be causing your symptoms.
Is This Test Right for You?
Consider this genetic analysis if you experience:
- Recurrent fevers (38-40°C) lasting 1-3 days
- Severe abdominal pain mimicking appendicitis
- Chest pain from inflammation of the lung lining
- Painful, swollen joints, particularly in knees and ankles
- Skin rashes, especially on legs and feet
- Family history of similar symptoms
- Mediterranean or Middle Eastern ancestry
Why Early Detection Matters
Getting an accurate FMF diagnosis transforms your health management by:
- Preventing serious kidney complications like amyloidosis
- Enabling targeted treatment with colchicine to control symptoms
- Reducing emergency hospital visits and medical costs
- Providing peace of mind for family planning decisions
- Eliminating the stress of unexplained symptoms
Understanding Your Results
Your comprehensive report will clearly explain any MEFV gene mutations found and what they mean for your health. Our genetic counsellors are available to help you understand your results and discuss next steps with your healthcare provider. Remember, a positive result doesn’t mean you’ll definitely develop severe symptoms – it means we can now create a proactive management plan to keep you healthy.
