Understanding Your Genetic Risk for Cutis Laxa
If you’re concerned about loose, sagging skin or connective tissue issues running in your family, you’re not alone. Many South Africans face uncertainty about inherited skin conditions, wondering if their symptoms indicate something more serious. Our ELN Gene Cutis Laxa test provides the clarity you need to understand your genetic makeup and take control of your health journey.
What This Test Reveals About Your Health
The ELN Gene Cutis Laxa Autosomal Dominant NGS Genetic DNA Test examines the elastin gene (ELN), which plays a crucial role in maintaining skin elasticity and connective tissue strength. Using cutting-edge Next-Generation Sequencing technology, we analyse your DNA to identify specific mutations that cause autosomal dominant cutis laxa – a condition where skin loses its elasticity and becomes loose and sagging.
This isn’t just about cosmetic concerns; it’s about understanding your body’s fundamental building blocks and how they affect your overall health and that of future generations.
Is This Test Right for You?
Consider this genetic test if you or your family members experience:
- Unexplained loose, sagging skin that doesn’t improve with age
- Family history of connective tissue disorders
- Early-onset skin elasticity issues
- Concerns about passing genetic conditions to children
- Multiple family members with similar skin symptoms
Many South African patients find relief in finally understanding the genetic basis of their symptoms, ending years of uncertainty and guesswork.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Family
Getting tested provides more than just answers – it offers peace of mind and proactive health management. Early detection through genetic testing allows you to:
- Make informed family planning decisions
- Understand your children’s genetic risk
- Access appropriate medical care and monitoring

- Connect with specialists who understand your specific needs
Knowledge is power, and understanding your genetic makeup empowers you to take control of your health journey.
