Understanding Your Immune Health: MR1 Gene MHC Class 1 Deficiency Testing
Living with unexplained recurrent infections or autoimmune symptoms can be worrying and frustrating. The MR1 Gene Major Histocompatibility Complex Class 1 Deficiency NGS Genetic DNA Test offers clarity and answers for South Africans struggling with immune system concerns. At Oracle Genomics, we understand the anxiety that comes with unexplained health issues, which is why we provide comprehensive genetic testing with professional support every step of the way.
What Does This Test Detect?
The MR1 gene plays a critical role in your immune system’s ability to recognize and fight infections. When this gene has mutations, it can lead to Major Histocompatibility Complex Class 1 deficiency, a condition that affects how your body defends itself against viruses and bacteria. Our advanced NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) technology examines your MR1 gene with exceptional accuracy, identifying even the smallest genetic variations that could impact your immune function.
This isn’t just a test – it’s a pathway to understanding your body’s unique defence mechanisms and taking proactive steps toward better health management.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Frequent or severe infections that don’t respond well to treatment
- Unexplained autoimmune symptoms or diagnoses
- Family history of immune system disorders
- Recurrent respiratory infections or unusual susceptibility to common illnesses
- Delayed diagnosis of immune-related conditions
- Concerns about passing genetic conditions to children
Many South Africans live with these symptoms without understanding the underlying cause. This test provides the answers needed to develop targeted treatment plans and preventive strategies.
