How IGeneX tests are used in clinical practice
IGeneX testing may be considered when additional biomarker data is needed related to infectious disease assessment.Â
Common clinical contexts include:
- Suspected tick-borne illness
- Persistent or unexplained symptoms
- Multi-system presentations
- Fatigue or low energy
- Neurological or musculoskeletal-related concerns
- Baseline infectious disease assessment and monitoring
IGeneX reports organize biomarker findings into structured categories intended to support clinical interpretation alongside the broader clinical context.
Infectious disease testing results should be interpreted alongside exposure history, symptoms, physical examination, and other clinical and laboratory findings.
Laboratory standards and technology
Types of IGeneX tests
IGeneX testing spans several clinical areas:
Tick-borne illness testing (e.g., Lyme disease-related panels)
Co-infection panels (e.g., Babesia, Bartonella, and related organisms)
Infectious disease antibody and PCR testing
Neurological and systemic infection-related markers
Frequently ordered IGeneX tests

Lyme Disease Immunoblot
A blood-based test that evaluates antibody responses associated with Lyme disease.
Often considered when assessing suspected tick-borne illness.
Tick-Borne Disease Panel
A panel that measures markers associated with multiple tick-borne pathogens.
Often considered when broader infectious assessment is needed.
Co-Infection Panels
Panels that measure markers associated with additional tick-borne organisms.
Often considered when assessing multi-pathogen exposure.
PCR-Based Infectious Panels
Tests that evaluate molecular markers associated with infectious agents.
Often considered when evaluating molecular markers associated with specific pathogens.
Infectious Disease Panels
Blood-based tests that evaluate markers associated with various infectious diseases, such as sexually transmitted diseases/infections (STDs), Epstein-Barr, or Hepatitis (A, B, or C).
Often considered when assessing exposure or infection-related patterns.
Results reflect markers associated with infectious agents and may not independently establish active infection; interpret alongside exposure history, symptoms, and other clinical findings.
Saliva Hormone Opendx Deluxe
Saliva-based panels that evaluate hormone markers, including cortisol.
Often considered when providers are assessing stress response, energy patterns, sleep, and hormone-related wellness trends.
Heavy Metals, 21 Toxic/16 Nutritional
A urine-based test that evaluates select heavy metal and nutritional markers.
Often considered when providers are assessing environmental exposure patterns and overall wellness trends.

How IGeneX tests compare
Antibody testing vs. PCR testing
Antibody testing | PCR testing | |
|---|---|---|
| Focus | Immune response patterns | Molecular markers associated with pathogens |
| Method | Immunoassay-based | Molecular testing |
| Use pattern | Exposure/immune response | Molecular marker assessment |
| Output | Antibody patterns | Molecular marker results for practitioner review |

This content is intended for licensed healthcare practitioners for educational purposes. IGeneX tests are laboratory tests ordered and interpreted by the practitioner as part of their own clinical assessment, alongside exposure history, symptoms, physical examination, and other clinical and laboratory findings. Antibody and molecular testing reflect immune response or the presence of biomarkers and may not independently establish active infection or confirm any disease. Fullscript does not interpret results or provide medical advice.
