Protect Your Family from Medication Reactions with G6PD Gene Testing
Are you concerned about medication safety for yourself or your children? The G6PD Full Gene Sequence Analysis provides the answers you need to prevent dangerous drug reactions and protect your family’s health. For South Africans across Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, and Pretoria, this advanced genetic test offers life-saving insights at an affordable ZAR 12,500.
Understanding Your G6PD Genetic Risk
G6PD deficiency is a common inherited condition that affects how your body processes certain medications and foods. When someone with G6PD deficiency takes specific drugs or eats certain foods, it can trigger sudden red blood cell destruction (haemolytic anaemia), leading to serious health complications. Our full gene sequence analysis examines every part of your G6PD gene to identify any mutations that could put you at risk.
Using gold-standard Sanger sequencing technology, we provide the most comprehensive analysis available in South Africa, giving you complete confidence in your results.
Who Should Consider G6PD Testing?
- Parents planning pregnancy – Understand genetic risks for your future children
- Individuals with family history of G6PD deficiency or medication reactions
- People experiencing unexplained anaemia or jaundice after medication
- Patients prescribed medications like antimalarials, certain antibiotics, or aspirin
- Families from Mediterranean, African, or Asian backgrounds where G6PD is more common
- Anyone concerned about medication safety for themselves or their children
Why G6PD Testing Matters for Your Health
Early detection of G6PD deficiency can prevent serious health emergencies and provide peace of mind for your entire family. Knowing your genetic status helps:
- Prevent dangerous medication reactions by avoiding trigger drugs
- Protect your children from inherited health risks
- Make informed medical decisions with your healthcare provider
- Avoid unnecessary hospitalisations from haemolytic crises
- Plan safe pregnancies with genetic counselling support
Understanding Your Test Results
We make genetic testing understandable and reassuring. Your comprehensive report will clearly explain:
- Normal result: No G6PD mutations detected – you can take medications safely
- Carrier status: You carry one copy of a mutation but typically don’t experience symptoms
- Deficiency confirmed: You have G6PD deficiency and need to avoid specific triggers
Every result comes with genetic counselling to help you understand what it means for your health and family planning. Our team ensures you leave with clarity, not confusion.
