Find Answers for Unexplained Immune System Concerns
When your immune system isn’t working properly, every day can feel like a battle against infections, fatigue, and uncertainty. The PIK3R1 Gene Immunodeficiency Type 36 test provides the clarity you’ve been searching for, helping you understand the genetic factors behind your immune health challenges.
Understanding Your PIK3R1 Genetic Test
The PIK3R1 gene plays a crucial role in regulating your immune system’s response to infections and diseases. When this gene contains specific mutations, it can lead to Immunodeficiency Type 36 – a condition that affects your body’s ability to fight off infections effectively.
Our advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your PIK3R1 gene with exceptional accuracy, identifying even the smallest genetic variations that could be impacting your immune health.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test may be right for you if you experience:
- Frequent or severe infections that don’t respond well to treatment
- Autoimmune symptoms with no clear diagnosis
- Family history of immune disorders or early childhood infections
- Unexplained inflammatory conditions
- Recurrent respiratory, skin, or gastrointestinal infections
Many South Africans live with these symptoms for years without understanding the underlying cause. This test can provide the answers needed for targeted treatment and management.
