Find Clarity for Your Family’s Health Journey
When your child shows signs of fragile skin or feeding difficulties, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our ITGA6 gene test provides the answers South African families need to understand epidermolysis bullosa junctional with pyloric atresia – a rare genetic condition that affects both skin integrity and digestive health. With our advanced NGS technology and compassionate approach, we help you navigate this challenging diagnosis with confidence and clarity.
Understanding Your ITGA6 Genetic Test
The ITGA6 gene plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy skin and digestive system function. When this gene has specific changes (mutations), it can lead to epidermolysis bullosa junctional with pyloric atresia – a condition where the skin blisters easily and the stomach outlet becomes blocked. Our Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your DNA with exceptional accuracy, identifying even the smallest genetic variations that could impact your family’s health.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important for families experiencing:
- Newborns with fragile, blistering skin that tears easily
- Infants with feeding difficulties or vomiting after birth
- Family history of epidermolysis bullosa or digestive blockages
- Unexplained skin fragility in multiple family members
- Planning pregnancy with known family genetic risks
Early detection through genetic testing can significantly improve treatment outcomes and quality of life.

- Peace of Mind: Eliminate uncertainty about your family’s genetic health
