Immunological Disorders
Explore Your Genetic Risk for Immune System Disorders
Simple testing for deeper insight into immune-related conditions.
Your immune system relies on many genes working together to protect your body. When changes occur in these genes, they can lead to inherited immune conditions that affect how your body responds to infections or immune challenges.
Genetic testing can identify inherited variants linked to primary immunodeficiencies such as severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), complement deficiencies, and others. Some of these conditions appear early in life, while others may only become noticeable later. In certain cases, you may carry genetic changes without symptoms, but still benefit from knowing your status.
Testing Process
A simple and non-invasive buccal swab is collected to obtain your DNA. This sample is then analyzed using next-generation sequencing (NGS) to look for changes in genes related to immune system function. Depending on your needs, the analysis may use targeted panels, whole exome sequencing (WES), or whole genome sequencing (WGS) to provide different levels of insight.
Benefits of Genetic Insights
Understanding your genetic profile can help reveal whether you carry changes that affect immune function — even before symptoms appear. This insight can support proactive, informed decisions about your health.
