Protect Your Child’s Immune Health with IL2 Gene SCID DNA Testing
As a parent, nothing matters more than your child’s health and wellbeing. When your little one faces recurrent infections or struggles to thrive, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. The IL2 Gene Severe Combined Immunodeficiency DNA Test provides the answers you need to understand and address potential immune system challenges early.
For ZAR 6,700, gain the clarity and confidence that comes from knowing your child’s genetic makeup and potential immune health risks. Our advanced testing technology offers South African families peace of mind and a clear path forward.
Understanding the IL2 Gene SCID DNA Test
The IL2 Gene Severe Combined Immunodeficiency test examines your child’s DNA for mutations in the IL2 gene, which plays a critical role in immune system development. When this gene doesn’t function properly, it can lead to Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) – a condition where the immune system is severely compromised, making children vulnerable to infections.
Using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, our test provides comprehensive analysis with exceptional accuracy. This advanced approach ensures we detect even the smallest genetic variations that could impact immune health.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important for families who notice:
- Recurrent, severe infections in infants or young children
- Failure to thrive or poor weight gain despite adequate nutrition
- Persistent diarrhoea or digestive issues
- Family history of immune disorders or early infant deaths
- Unexplained rashes or skin conditions
- Delayed recovery from common childhood illnesses
If your child has been experiencing multiple hospitalisations or seems unusually susceptible to infections, this test could provide crucial diagnostic information.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Child’s Health
Early identification of IL2 gene mutations can be life-changing for affected children. The benefits include:
- Early Intervention: Allows for prompt medical management and treatment planning
- Informed Care Decisions: Helps healthcare providers develop targeted treatment strategies
- Family Planning Guidance: Provides valuable information for future family planning decisions
- Reduced Hospitalisations: Proper management can decrease infection-related hospital stays
- Improved Quality of Life: Early treatment can significantly improve long-term health outcomes
