Understanding Your Genetic Risk for Crouzon Syndrome with Acanthosis Nigricans
When you notice unusual skull development in your child or dark, velvety skin patches appearing, it’s natural to feel concerned and uncertain. These could be signs of FGFR3-related conditions that affect both bone growth and skin health. Our comprehensive genetic test provides the clarity you need to understand your family’s health journey and make informed decisions for the future.
What This Test Detects
This advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) test specifically examines the FGFR3 gene for mutations associated with Crouzon syndrome accompanied by acanthosis nigricans. The FGFR3 gene plays a crucial role in bone development and skin cell regulation. When mutations occur, they can lead to premature fusion of skull bones (craniosynostosis) and distinctive skin changes, creating a unique combination of symptoms that require specialised understanding.
Who Should Consider This Test
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Unusual skull shape or premature fusion of skull bones in infants
- Dark, thickened, velvety skin patches (acanthosis nigricans) in skin folds
- Family history of craniofacial abnormalities
- Concerns about developmental delays or vision problems
- Planning for pregnancy with known family history of FGFR3 conditions
Many South African families find peace of mind through early detection, allowing for timely interventions and better health outcomes.
