Find Answers for Recurrent Infections with VPS45 Gene Neutropenia Testing
When your child faces constant infections or unexplained low white blood cell counts, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our VPS45 Gene Neutropenia DNA test provides the clarity South African families need to understand and manage this rare genetic condition. With expert genetic counselling and nationwide coverage, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
Understanding VPS45 Gene Neutropenia Testing
This advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) test examines the VPS45 gene to identify mutations that cause severe congenital neutropenia type 5. This autosomal recessive condition affects the body’s ability to produce sufficient neutrophils – the white blood cells crucial for fighting infections. By detecting these genetic changes early, we can help prevent serious health complications and guide appropriate treatment strategies.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is essential for individuals experiencing:
- Recurrent bacterial infections from early childhood
- Unexplained fevers and frequent illnesses
- Diagnosed neutropenia without clear cause
- Family history of similar immune system disorders
- Delayed wound healing or unusual infections
If your child has been hospitalized multiple times for infections or shows persistent low neutrophil counts, this test could provide life-changing answers.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Family’s Health
Identifying VPS45 gene mutations early can:
- Prevent life-threatening infections through proactive management
- Guide appropriate treatment with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)
- Reduce hospitalizations and antibiotic use
- Provide clarity for family planning decisions
- Enable monitoring for potential bone marrow complications
Early intervention can significantly improve quality of life and reduce the burden of chronic illness.
Understanding Your Test Results
Our comprehensive reporting includes:
- Clear explanation of identified genetic variants
- Interpretation of clinical significance
- Personalized recommendations based on findings
- Follow-up genetic counselling session
- Referral to hematology specialists if needed
We ensure you fully understand your results and have a clear path forward, whether for treatment or additional monitoring.
