Find Clarity for Your Respiratory Health with DNAI1 Gene Testing
If you’ve been struggling with persistent respiratory symptoms that don’t seem to improve, you’re not alone. Many South Africans face the frustration of chronic coughs, recurring sinus infections, and breathing difficulties without clear answers. Our DNAI1 Gene Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia Type 1 test provides the definitive answers you deserve, helping you and your healthcare team develop an effective management plan for better respiratory health.
Understanding Your DNAI1 Gene Test
Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetic condition where the tiny hair-like structures called cilia in your respiratory tract don’t function properly. These cilia are essential for clearing mucus, bacteria, and debris from your airways. When they don’t work correctly, it leads to chronic respiratory problems. Our NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology examines your DNAI1 gene with 99.9% accuracy to identify any mutations that could be causing your symptoms.
This isn’t just another test – it’s a comprehensive genetic analysis that provides life-changing information about your respiratory health. By understanding the genetic basis of your symptoms, you can move from uncertainty to clarity and take proactive steps toward better health management.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Chronic cough that persists despite treatment
- Recurrent sinus infections or sinusitis
- Frequent chest infections or pneumonia
- Breathing difficulties from early childhood
- Family history of similar respiratory conditions
- Unexplained fertility issues (in adults)
- Chronic middle ear infections
Many patients tell us they’ve spent years going from doctor to doctor without clear answers. This test can provide the genetic evidence needed to confirm or rule out Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia, ending the diagnostic odyssey and starting proper management.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Getting an accurate diagnosis through genetic testing offers significant benefits:
- Personalised Treatment Plans: Your ENT specialist can create targeted treatment strategies based on your genetic results
- Prevention of Complications: Early intervention can prevent permanent lung damage and other serious complications
- Family Planning Insights: Understand inheritance patterns for future family planning decisions
- Peace of Mind: Move from uncertainty to clarity about your health condition
