Understanding Your Bone Marrow Health: MAF/IgH (MM) Genetic Testing
When you’re concerned about multiple myeloma or experiencing unexplained bone pain, fatigue, or abnormal blood counts, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. We understand how frightening this journey can feel. Our MAF/IgH (MM) genetic test is designed to provide the clarity you need, offering precise insights into specific genetic markers that help your healthcare team understand your condition better.
What the MAF/IgH (MM) Test Detects
This specialised FISH (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridisation) analysis examines your bone marrow or blood sample for specific genetic rearrangements between the MAF gene and immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) region. These genetic changes are strongly associated with multiple myeloma development and progression. By identifying these abnormalities early, we help create a clearer picture of your health status.
Who Should Consider This Test
This test may be recommended if you’re experiencing:
- Unexplained bone pain or fractures
- Persistent fatigue and weakness
- Recurrent infections
- Abnormal kidney function
- High calcium levels in blood tests
- Anaemia without clear cause
- Family history of blood cancers
- Monitoring existing multiple myeloma treatment
Many South Africans initially dismiss these symptoms as normal aging or stress, but early detection can make a significant difference in treatment outcomes.
Why This Matters for Your Health Journey
Getting clear answers about your genetic profile provides several important benefits:
- Personalised Treatment Planning: Results help your doctor tailor treatment specifically to your genetic profile
- Early Intervention Opportunities: Detect genetic changes before they progress
- Peace of Mind: Replace uncertainty with actionable information
- Treatment Monitoring: Track how your condition responds to therapy
- Informed Decision Making: Work with your healthcare team based on solid genetic evidence
Understanding Your Results
We know waiting for test results can be anxiety-provoking. Our team provides clear, easy-to-understand reports that your doctor will discuss with you. The results will indicate whether the specific MAF/IgH genetic rearrangement is present, helping to:
- Confirm or rule out multiple myeloma involvement
- Guide appropriate treatment strategies
- Provide prognostic information
- Help monitor treatment effectiveness over time
Remember, genetic information is just one piece of your health puzzle, and your doctor will consider these results alongside other clinical findings.
