Protect Your Family from G6PD Favism Risks with Advanced Genetic Testing
If you’ve ever worried about unexplained anaemia, jaundice, or severe reactions to certain foods and medications in your family, you’re not alone. G6PD deficiency affects millions worldwide and can lead to dangerous haemolytic crises when triggered by common substances. Our G6PD Gene Favism Susceptibility test gives you the power to understand your genetic risk and make informed health decisions for yourself and your loved ones.
Understanding Your G6PD Favism Susceptibility Test
This advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) genetic test examines the G6PD gene to identify mutations that cause glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency. When this enzyme is deficient, red blood cells become vulnerable to oxidative stress from certain foods (like fava beans), medications, and infections, leading to potentially serious haemolytic anaemia.
Our test provides comprehensive analysis of your genetic makeup, helping you understand your susceptibility to favism and guiding healthcare providers in making safe treatment decisions.
Who Should Consider This Important Genetic Test?
- Individuals with family history of G6PD deficiency or unexplained haemolytic anaemia
- Parents concerned about their children’s risk of favism reactions
- People experiencing unexplained jaundice, dark urine, or fatigue after eating certain foods
- Those with Mediterranean, African, or Asian ancestry where G6PD deficiency is more common
- Individuals needing medication safety guidance for antibiotics, antimalarials, or other drugs
- Couples planning pregnancy who want to understand genetic risks for their future children
Why This Test Matters for Your Family’s Health
Early detection of G6PD deficiency can be life-changing. By understanding your genetic susceptibility, you can:
- Prevent dangerous haemolytic crises by avoiding trigger foods and medications
