Understanding FBLN5 Cutis Laxa Type 1A: Your Genetic Health Journey Starts Here
Facing concerns about loose, sagging skin or connective tissue issues in your family? The FBLN5 Gene Cutis Laxa Type 1A test provides the clarity and answers you deserve. This rare genetic condition affects connective tissues throughout the body, and early detection through our advanced NGS technology can make a significant difference in managing health outcomes.
What This Test Detects: Building Your Understanding
The FBLN5 Gene Cutis Laxa Type 1A test examines mutations in the FBLN5 gene, which provides instructions for making fibulin-5 protein essential for elastic fibre formation. When this gene doesn’t function properly, it leads to the characteristic loose, sagging skin and connective tissue abnormalities associated with Cutis Laxa Type 1A. Our Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology provides comprehensive analysis of this gene with exceptional accuracy.

This test is particularly important if you or family members experience:
- Loose, sagging skin that lacks elasticity
- Joint hypermobility or frequent dislocations
- Developmental delays in children
