Find Clarity for Your Skin Health Journey
If you’ve been struggling with severe, persistent dry skin that feels like scales and doesn’t improve with regular moisturisers, you’re not alone. Many South Africans face the frustration of unexplained skin conditions that impact daily life and self-confidence. Our CYP4F22 Gene Ichthyosis Lamellar Type 3 test provides the definitive answers you need to move forward with confidence and proper care.
Understanding Your Genetic Skin Condition
Lamellar ichthyosis type 3 is a rare inherited skin disorder caused by specific mutations in the CYP4F22 gene. This condition affects how your skin naturally sheds dead cells, leading to the characteristic thick, scaly appearance. Unlike regular dry skin, this genetic condition requires specialised understanding and management.
Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your DNA with precision, identifying the exact genetic variations responsible for your symptoms. This isn’t just another skin test – it’s a comprehensive genetic analysis that provides lifelong clarity about your skin health.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is specifically designed for individuals experiencing:
- Severe, generalised dry skin present from birth or early childhood
- Large, dark scales that cover most of the body
- Skin that feels tight and may crack painfully
- Family history of similar skin conditions
- Previous unsuccessful treatments with standard moisturisers and creams
- Concerns about passing the condition to future children
If you’ve visited multiple dermatologists without finding clear answers, this genetic test could provide the breakthrough you need.
