Find Answers for Fragile Skin Conditions with LAMC2 Gene Testing
If you or your loved one experiences unexplained blistering, fragile skin, or has been diagnosed with epidermolysis bullosa, you understand the daily challenges and uncertainty this condition brings. The LAMC2 Gene Epidermolysis Bullosa Junctional NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the definitive answers South African families need to move forward with confidence and proper care planning.
Understanding Your LAMC2 Genetic Test
This advanced genetic test specifically examines the LAMC2 gene using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, which is the gold standard for genetic testing accuracy. The LAMC2 gene provides instructions for making part of a protein called laminin-332, which is essential for anchoring the top layer of skin (epidermis) to underlying layers. When mutations occur in this gene, it leads to junctional epidermolysis bullosa – a condition where the skin becomes extremely fragile and blisters easily.
Our test delivers 99.9% accuracy in detecting these genetic variations, giving you and your healthcare team the precise information needed for diagnosis and management.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important for:
- Individuals experiencing unexplained skin blistering, especially from minor friction or trauma
- Newborns or children with fragile skin that tears easily
- Patients with a suspected diagnosis of epidermolysis bullosa
- Family members of individuals diagnosed with junctional EB
- Couples planning pregnancy with family history of skin fragility disorders
- Individuals with nail abnormalities, dental enamel defects, or hair loss associated with skin fragility
If you’ve been searching for answers about persistent skin issues that don’t respond to conventional treatments, this test could provide the clarity you need.
