Protect Your Family from Favism Risks with Advanced Genetic Testing
Are you worried about inherited health conditions that could unexpectedly affect your loved ones? Favism, a serious genetic condition linked to G6PD deficiency, can cause severe reactions to certain foods and medications. Our G6PD Gene Favism Susceptibility Test provides the clarity and peace of mind you deserve about your genetic health.
Understanding Your G6PD Genetic Test
This advanced genetic test examines your G6PD gene using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology – the gold standard in genetic analysis. G6PD deficiency is an inherited condition that affects red blood cells and can lead to serious health complications when exposed to certain triggers like fava beans, specific medications, or infections.
The test is simple and straightforward, requiring only a small blood sample or DNA extraction. Our state-of-the-art laboratory technology ensures the highest accuracy in detecting genetic variations associated with Favism susceptibility.

This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Family history of G6PD deficiency or Favism reactions
- Unexplained episodes of anaemia or jaundice
- Adverse reactions to certain medications or foods
- Planning pregnancy or concerned about genetic inheritance

Early detection can prevent serious health emergencies and guide important medical decisions throughout your life.
