Find Clarity for Your Skin Health Journey
Living with persistent dry, scaly skin can feel isolating and frustrating. You’ve tried countless creams and treatments, yet the discomfort remains. Our FLG Gene Ichthyosis Vulgaris NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the definitive answers you deserve, helping you understand the genetic factors behind your skin condition and paving the way for targeted management strategies.
Understanding Your FLG Gene Test
This advanced genetic test examines the FLG (filaggrin) gene using Next-Generation Sequencing technology – the gold standard in genetic analysis. The FLG gene produces a protein essential for maintaining your skin’s protective barrier. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to Ichthyosis Vulgaris, causing the persistent dry, scaly skin you may be experiencing.
Our test doesn’t just identify problems – it provides clarity. By understanding your genetic makeup, you and your dermatologist can develop more effective, personalised treatment approaches that address the root cause rather than just managing symptoms.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Persistent dry, scaly skin that doesn’t respond to regular moisturisers
- Family members with similar skin conditions
- Skin that feels rough or looks like fish scales
- Worsening of symptoms in dry, cold weather
- Associated conditions like eczema or allergies
Many South Africans struggle with these symptoms without understanding the underlying cause. Getting tested can be the first step toward effective management and improved quality of life.

- Accurate Diagnosis: Move beyond guesswork to definitive answers about your skin condition
