Understanding Your Risk for Inherited Kidney Disease
When kidney health concerns run in your family, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. You may worry about passing conditions to your children or developing symptoms yourself. Our INF2 Gene Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis Type 5 test provides the answers you need to make informed decisions about your health future.
What This Test Detects
This advanced genetic screening specifically identifies mutations in the INF2 gene, which are responsible for Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis Type 5 – an inherited form of kidney disease that affects the filtering units of your kidneys. Using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we examine your DNA with exceptional accuracy to detect even subtle genetic variations that could impact your kidney function.
Who Should Consider This Test
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Family history of kidney disease or kidney failure
- Unexplained protein in urine (proteinuria)
- High blood pressure at a young age
- Swelling in legs, ankles, or around eyes
- Planning pregnancy with family history of kidney conditions
- Children showing early signs of kidney issues
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Identifying INF2 gene mutations early provides significant advantages:
- Proactive monitoring and early intervention strategies
- Personalised treatment plans based on your genetic profile
- Informed family planning decisions
- Peace of mind through definitive answers
- Potential to delay or prevent kidney damage progression
Understanding Your Results with Confidence
Our comprehensive approach includes genetic counselling to help you understand your results in the context of your family history. Whether your results show a mutation or provide reassuring clarity, our medical team will guide you through next steps and connect you with appropriate specialists if needed.
