Understanding FERMT3 Gene Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency Type 3
If you or your child experiences frequent infections, delayed wound healing, or has a family history of immune disorders, you understand the worry and uncertainty that comes with unexplained health challenges. Our FERMT3 gene test provides the clarity and answers you’ve been searching for, using cutting-edge genetic technology to identify this rare but serious immune condition.
What This Test Detects
The FERMT3 gene test specifically looks for mutations that cause Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency Type 3 (LAD-III), a rare genetic disorder affecting the immune system. This condition prevents white blood cells from properly adhering to blood vessel walls and migrating to infection sites, leaving the body vulnerable to recurrent infections. Our Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology provides the most accurate analysis available, giving you definitive answers about your genetic health.
Who Should Consider This Test
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Frequent, severe bacterial infections from early childhood
- Delayed separation of the umbilical cord in newborns
- Poor wound healing and recurrent skin infections
- Gum inflammation and oral infections
- Family history of immune deficiency disorders
- Unexplained bleeding tendencies alongside immune issues
Early detection through genetic testing can significantly improve treatment outcomes and quality of life.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Identifying FERMT3 gene mutations early provides crucial benefits:
- Personalized Treatment Plans: Enables targeted therapies and preventive measures
- Family Planning Guidance: Helps understand inheritance patterns for future generations
- Reduced Hospitalizations: Early intervention can prevent serious infections
- Peace of Mind: Eliminates uncertainty and provides clear direction for care
- Improved Quality of Life: Proper management reduces infection frequency and severity
