Find Clarity About Albinism in Your Family
When albinism runs in your family, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. You deserve definitive answers about your genetic makeup and what it means for your health and future. Our TYRP1 Gene Albinism Oculocutaneous Type 3 test provides the clarity you need with compassionate, professional care.
Understanding Your TYRP1 Albinism Test
This specialised genetic test examines the TYRP1 gene using advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology. The TYRP1 gene plays a crucial role in producing melanin, the pigment that gives colour to your skin, hair, and eyes. When this gene contains mutations, it can lead to oculocutaneous albinism type 3, affecting both vision and skin pigmentation.
Our test doesn’t just give you results – it provides understanding. We include comprehensive genetic counselling to help you interpret what your results mean for you and your family.
Who Should Consider This Test?
- Individuals with family history of albinism or vision problems
- Parents concerned about passing genetic conditions to children
- People experiencing unexplained vision difficulties or light sensitivity
- Those with unusually light skin, hair, or eye colour without family explanation
- Couples planning pregnancy who want genetic screening
- Individuals diagnosed with albinism seeking specific genetic confirmation
If you’ve noticed these symptoms in yourself or family members, this test can provide the answers you need for proper healthcare planning.
