CYBB Gene Granulomatous Disease Chronic X-Linked NGS Genetic DNA Test
The CYBB Gene Granulomatous Disease Chronic X-Linked NGS Genetic DNA Test is an advanced genetic diagnostic tool designed to identify mutations in the CYBB gene, which are responsible for X-linked chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). This condition significantly impacts the immune system, making affected individuals more susceptible to infections. Understanding the genetic basis of CGD is crucial for effective management and treatment.
What the Test Measures
This genetic test employs Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze the CYBB gene. It detects specific mutations that can lead to chronic granulomatous disease, providing invaluable information for diagnosis and family planning.
Who Should Consider This Test?
Individuals with a family history of chronic granulomatous disease or those exhibiting symptoms such as recurrent bacterial and fungal infections should consider this test. Risk factors include having male relatives with CGD, as the disease is X-linked and predominantly affects males.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Accurate diagnosis of chronic granulomatous disease.
- Informed family planning and risk assessment for relatives.
- Guidance for potential treatment options and lifestyle adjustments.
- Access to genetic counseling for affected families.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the CYBB Gene Granulomatous Disease test will indicate whether a mutation is present. A positive result confirms the diagnosis of CGD, while a negative result may rule out the disease. It is essential to discuss the results with a healthcare provider for proper interpretation and next steps.

Additional Information
Turnaround time for results is approximately 3 to 4 weeks. The sample type required for this test can be blood or extracted DNA, or even a drop of blood on an FTA card. Before the test, a clinical history of the patient is necessary, along with a genetic counseling session to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by CGD.
