Find Answers for Unexplained Skin Blistering and Fragility
When your skin blisters or tears with minimal friction, it can feel like your body is betraying you. The constant worry about new blisters, the pain of healing, and the uncertainty about what’s causing your symptoms can be overwhelming. Our PLEC Gene Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex Ogna Type NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity and answers you’ve been searching for, helping you understand your condition and take control of your health journey.
Understanding Your PLEC Gene Test
This specialised genetic test examines the PLEC gene, which plays a crucial role in maintaining your skin’s structural integrity. When this gene isn’t functioning properly, it can lead to Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex Ogna Type – a condition where your skin becomes extremely fragile and prone to blistering. Our advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology provides the most accurate analysis available, giving you definitive answers about your genetic makeup.
We understand that genetic testing can feel intimidating, which is why we include comprehensive genetic counselling as part of your testing process. This ensures you fully understand the implications of your results and can make informed decisions about your health management.
