Understanding Your Genetic Health: DST Gene Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex Testing
Living with concerns about inherited skin conditions can be overwhelming, especially when you notice symptoms that might indicate Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex. We understand the anxiety that comes with unexplained skin fragility and blistering in your family. At Oracle Genomics, we provide clarity and answers through our specialised DST gene testing, giving you the knowledge to make informed health decisions for yourself and your loved ones.
What This Test Reveals About Your Genetic Health
The DST Gene Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex test uses Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to examine the DST gene for mutations associated with autosomal recessive type 2 Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex. This condition affects the proteins that help anchor the layers of your skin together. When these proteins don’t function properly, even minor friction or trauma can cause painful blistering and skin separation.
Our test doesn’t just provide results – it provides understanding. Through comprehensive genetic counselling, we help you interpret what these findings mean for your health and your family’s future.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Unexplained skin blistering from minimal friction or trauma
- Fragile skin that tears easily
- Family history of similar skin conditions
- Planning for pregnancy with concerns about genetic inheritance
- Diagnostic uncertainty about recurrent skin issues
Many South African families live with undiagnosed genetic conditions. Getting tested can provide the answers you need to manage symptoms effectively and understand inheritance patterns.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Family’s Health
Knowing your genetic status empowers you to:
- Receive accurate diagnosis and appropriate medical care
- Understand inheritance patterns for family planning
- Reduce anxiety through definitive answers
- Access specialised dermatological care if needed
- Make informed decisions about future pregnancies
- Connect with appropriate support networks
Early detection through genetic testing can significantly improve quality of life by enabling proactive management of symptoms and preventing complications.

- Explain your results in clear, understandable language
