Test Details
G6PD gene favism refers to a genetic condition called glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, which can lead to a condition known as favism. Favism is a reaction to eating certain foods, such as fava beans, that can cause a severe form of hemolytic anemia in individuals with G6PD deficiency.
NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic testing that can be used to identify variations or mutations in the G6PD gene. NGS allows for the sequencing of large amounts of DNA in a faster and more cost-effective manner compared to traditional sequencing methods. By analyzing the G6PD gene using NGS, it is possible to detect variations or mutations that may be associated with G6PD deficiency.
This information can help determine an individual’s susceptibility to favism and guide appropriate dietary recommendations and precautions. It is important to note that NGS genetic testing for G6PD deficiency is typically not a routine screening test but is recommended for individuals with a family history of the condition or for those who have experienced symptoms of G6PD deficiency.
Genetic testing should be performed under the guidance of a healthcare professional or a genetic counselor who can interpret the results and provide appropriate recommendations based on the individual’s specific situation.
