Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) Full Gene Sequencing (G6PDB)

Discover crucial insights into your genetic health with the Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) Full Gene Sequencing (G6PDB) screening, provided in collaboration with the Mayo Clinic. This advanced genetic test delves deep into your DNA to assess the status of the G6PD gene, which plays a pivotal role in red blood cell health. Mutations or variations in the G6PD gene can lead to G6PD deficiency, a condition that can result in hemolytic anemia when triggered by certain factors.

Unraveling the G6PD Gene

The G6PD gene encodes an essential enzyme crucial for red blood cell function. Variations or mutations in this gene can lead to G6PD deficiency, a genetic condition that affects how your red blood cells manage oxidative stress. G6PD deficiency can result in hemolytic anemia, a condition in which red blood cells break down more easily, leading to symptoms like fatigue, jaundice, and dark urine. The G6PDB screening offers a comprehensive analysis of your G6PD gene, helping you understand your genetic predisposition and make informed health decisions.

3. Pay

When you book your screening appointment you will be charged a non-refundable booking fee to reserve your appointment slot so that we can continue to offer our clients the highest levels of care and sufficient time for collection. This fee will be applied to your selected screening at the time of your appointment. On the day of your scheduled booking, you can pay for the balance due for the test you selected and any additional screenings you choose on-site. This ensures that you only pay for the tests you receive, and you have the flexibility to add or remove tests as needed, based on your requirements and budget. We accept payment with debit or credit card.

4. Screening

On the day of your appointment, visit the designated health center to undergo the screening process. Your private labs testing will be completed at one of our partner clinics:
Signature Medical Centre in the SW
Future Smiles in the NE
The screening will involve sample collection, depending on the type of test(s) you have booked.

5. Results

After the screening, the samples are securely packaged and sent to the laboratory for advanced analysis. The laboratory is equipped with advanced technology and staffed by qualified professionals who are trained to perform the required tests accurately and efficiently. Depending on the shipping cycle and lab schedule for the private lab tests you selected, results are provided in 5-10 days. You will receive your test results via secure email within the specified timeframe.

6. Next

Always share your results and consult your primary care physician before changing your medication or healthcare plan. Once our laboratory finishes analyzing your samples, they will provide you with a detailed report of your results. These results may be in a numerical or graphical format, test-dependent. The report will also give an analysis, explaining the implications for your health and well-being, which should provide your physician insight. While we strive to make the results clear and concise, guidance and examination from your primary care physician are essential to fully understanding the results and determining the appropriate next steps.

Understanding Your Genetic Health

The G6PD Full Gene Sequencing (G6PDB) screening is particularly important for individuals of certain ethnic backgrounds, as G6PD deficiency is more prevalent in specific populations. This test can provide crucial insights for those planning to start medications, explore dietary changes, or undergo certain medical treatments. By knowing your G6PD gene status, you can make informed choices that align with your genetic makeup and reduce the risk of potential complications.
