We understand the emotional journey and are here to support you every step of the way with professional care and accurate results.
What This Test Reveals About Your Health
The SLC45A2 Gene Albinism Oculocutaneous Type 4 test examines specific genetic mutations that cause oculocutaneous albinism type 4. Using advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we analyse the SLC45A2 gene to identify variations that affect melanin production.
