Understanding Your Genetic Risk for Albinism: A Compassionate Approach
Facing concerns about albinism in your family can feel overwhelming, but knowledge brings power and peace of mind. Our SLC24A5 Gene Albinism Oculocutaneous Nonsyndromic NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity you need to understand your genetic makeup and make informed health decisions for yourself and your loved ones.
What This Test Reveals About Your Health
The SLC24A5 gene plays a crucial role in skin, hair, and eye pigmentation. When this gene has specific variations, it can lead to oculocutaneous albinism type 6 – a condition affecting melanin production throughout the body. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines this gene with exceptional accuracy, providing you with reliable information about your genetic predisposition.
This isn’t just about getting results – it’s about understanding what those results mean for your health, your family’s future, and your peace of mind.
Who Should Consider This Important Genetic Test?
This test is particularly valuable if you or your family members experience:
- Unusually light skin, hair, or eye colour compared to family members
- Vision challenges including sensitivity to light or reduced visual acuity
- Family history of albinism or unexplained vision problems
- Planning for pregnancy and concerned about genetic inheritance
- Children showing signs of pigmentation differences
Many South African families find this testing brings relief from uncertainty and helps them prepare for the future with confidence.

- Make informed family planning decisions with genetic counselling support
