G6PD Gene Favism Susceptibility NGS Genetic DNA Test
Understanding G6PD Deficiency and Favism Risk
The G6PD Gene Favism Susceptibility NGS Genetic DNA Test represents a breakthrough in preventive genetic medicine, offering comprehensive screening for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency. This X-linked genetic disorder affects approximately 400 million people worldwide and poses significant health risks when undiagnosed. Our advanced NGS technology provides unparalleled accuracy in detecting genetic mutations that predispose individuals to favism – a severe hemolytic reaction triggered by exposure to fava beans, certain medications, and infections.
What This Revolutionary Test Measures
This sophisticated genetic analysis examines the complete G6PD gene sequence using next-generation sequencing technology to identify:
- Point mutations and single nucleotide variants in the G6PD gene
- Deletions and insertions affecting enzyme function
- Genetic variants classified by WHO severity categories
- Specific mutations associated with Mediterranean, African, and Asian variants
- Carrier status identification for family planning purposes
Who Should Consider G6PD Genetic Testing?
Clinical Indications and Risk Factors
This test is particularly recommended for individuals experiencing:
- Unexplained episodes of hemolytic anemia or jaundice
- Family history of favism or G6PD deficiency
- Adverse reactions to antimalarial drugs, sulfa medications, or certain antibiotics
- Mediterranean, African, Middle Eastern, or Southeast Asian ancestry
- Neonatal jaundice requiring phototherapy
- Planning pregnancy with family history of metabolic disorders
Comprehensive Benefits of Early Detection
Understanding your G6PD status provides numerous life-changing advantages:
- Prevention of Hemolytic Crises: Avoid triggering substances and prevent life-threatening complications
- Personalized Medication Guidance: Receive tailored recommendations for safe drug alternatives
- Dietary Management: Implement appropriate dietary restrictions to prevent favism reactions
- Family Planning Insights: Understand inheritance patterns and risks for future generations
- Emergency Preparedness: Equip healthcare providers with critical genetic information
Understanding Your Test Results
Interpretation Guidance
Your results will be categorized based on genetic variant analysis:
- Normal Result: No detected mutations; standard G6PD enzyme activity
- Carrier Status: Heterozygous females with partial enzyme deficiency
- Deficient Variants: Class I-IV mutations with varying severity levels
- Severe Deficiency: High-risk mutations requiring strict avoidance protocols
All results include comprehensive genetic counseling to ensure complete understanding and appropriate management strategies.
