Start with fit
Is this the right test for you?
The best test starts with a clear clinical question. These are common reasons a clinician or family may consider this test.
- ✓Family history of lymphoproliferative disorders
- ✓Symptoms suggestive of immune system dysfunction
- ✓Unexplained fevers, night sweats, or swollen lymph nodes
- ✓Diagnosis of suspected lymphoproliferative syndrome
- ✓Genetic counseling for individuals with related conditions
In plain language
What this test helps you understand
This genetic test specifically looks for mutations in the CD27 gene, which plays a role in regulating the immune system. By analyzing a DNA sample, the test can identify abnormalities that might increase the risk of lymphoproliferative syndromes, conditions related to the abnormal growth of lymphocytes.
Individuals who might consider this test include those with a family history of lymphoproliferative disorders, patients experiencing symptoms like unexplained fevers, night sweats, or swollen lymph nodes, and individuals with known immune system issues.
Taking this test can offer benefits such as early detection of genetic risks, enabling timely intervention and management. It also provides information that can help tailor treatment options and assist families in health-related planning.
Results are provided in a comprehensive report. It is important to discuss these results with a healthcare provider or genetic counselor to fully understand their implications and plan next steps.
