Ordering the ImmunoGenomic Profile | Canada
The ImmunoGenomic Profile helps identify how your immune system responds to inflammation, allergies, and infections by measuring specific genetic markers and cytokines. This test can reveal patterns that may be linked to issues like joint pain, skin rashes, digestive problems, or chronic fatigue. Interestingly, certain immune markers tested here can also show how your body might react to environmental triggers or stress, which is not always obvious from symptoms alone.
Ordering this test provides several specific benefits:
- Pinpoints immune system imbalances that may contribute to symptoms like brain fog, mood swings, or sleep disturbances.
- Highlights genetic tendencies toward inflammation, helping guide targeted support for joint pain or skin issues.
- Identifies cytokine patterns linked to food sensitivities, allergies, or asthma, supporting more precise dietary and lifestyle adjustments.
- Reveals immune responses that may affect energy levels and stress response, offering a clearer path to improvement.
- Supports early detection of immune-related metabolic or hormonal imbalances, allowing for timely intervention.
Who Should Consider Immune and Genetic Marker Testing
People who have tried multiple approaches for symptoms like ongoing tiredness, unexplained skin rashes, or digestive discomfort but still have no clear answers may benefit from this test. For example, someone who has changed their diet, adjusted their sleep, and tried different supplements but still experiences joint pain and brain fog could use this test to uncover hidden immune triggers.
Ordering this test may also be helpful in these situations:
- Persistent allergies or asthma that do not improve with standard treatments
- Recurring joint pain or swelling without a clear diagnosis
- Unexplained mood swings or mental clarity issues that affect daily focus
- Digestive issues that continue despite dietary changes
- Unexpected skin reactions after exposure to new environments or products
This test is recommended for those who want to measure specific immune and genetic markers that may be linked to symptoms like inflammation, fatigue, or food reactions. Delaying this test could mean missing early signs of immune imbalance, which may make it harder to address symptoms before they become more persistent.
How to Prepare for Immune and Inflammation Marker Testing
Fasting is not required for this test, but always check the test kit instructions for any special steps. Make sure to follow whatever guidance your doctor or healthcare practitioner gives you, as this helps ensure your sample is collected correctly and your results are as useful as possible.
Labs Included When Ordering Your ImmunoGenomic Profile
| Test Name | Reference Range | Significance | Low and High Levels of ImmunoGenomic Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| IL-1ß (interleukin-1beta) | 0 – 5 | IL-1ß is a cytokine that signals inflammation in the body. It is often linked to joint pain, swelling, and chronic inflammatory conditions. |
High levels mean your body may be experiencing ongoing inflammation, which can contribute to pain or swelling.
Low levels mean your immune response may be less active, which could affect your ability to fight infections. |
| TNF-α (tumor necrosis factor-alpha) | 0 – 8 | TNF-α is a protein involved in inflammation and immune system regulation. It plays a role in autoimmune conditions and can affect energy and joint health. |
High levels mean there may be increased inflammation, often seen in autoimmune or chronic inflammatory conditions.
Low levels mean your immune system may not be responding strongly, which can impact your ability to manage infections. |
| IL-4 (interleukin-4) | 0 – 3 | IL-4 helps regulate allergic responses and supports antibody production. It is often linked to asthma, allergies, and atopic conditions. |
High levels mean your body may be more likely to react to allergens, leading to symptoms like sneezing or skin rashes.
Low levels mean your immune system may have a reduced ability to respond to certain allergens. |
| IL-6 (interleukin-6) | 0 – 7 | IL-6 is a cytokine that rises during inflammation and infection. It is linked to fatigue, mood changes, and chronic inflammatory states. |
High levels mean your body may be fighting inflammation or infection, which can cause tiredness or mood changes.
Low levels mean your immune response may be less active, which could affect recovery from illness. |
| IL-10 (interleukin-10) | 1 – 9 | IL-10 helps control inflammation and keeps the immune system balanced. It can help prevent tissue damage from an overactive immune response. |
High levels mean your body may be trying to reduce inflammation, which can sometimes lower immune defense.
Low levels mean your immune system may not be controlling inflammation well, which can lead to more symptoms. |
| IL-13 (interleukin-13) | 0 – 4 | IL-13 is involved in allergic reactions and helps regulate mucus production. It is often linked to asthma, allergies, and skin conditions. |
High levels mean you may be more likely to have allergic symptoms or asthma.
Low levels mean your body may have a reduced response to allergens, which can affect how you react to triggers. |
Reference ranges may change slightly as labs update their standards or as new research becomes available.
