Find Answers for Unexplained Skin Thickening on Your Hands and Feet
Living with persistent, thickened skin on your palms and soles can be both physically uncomfortable and emotionally distressing. If you’ve noticed striated patterns developing on your hands and feet, you’re not alone. Our DSP Gene Keratosis Palmoplantaris Striata Type 2 NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity you need to understand this inherited condition and take control of your skin health journey.
Understanding Your DSP Gene Keratosis Test
This specialised genetic test examines the DSP gene, which plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy skin structure. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to Keratosis Palmoplantaris Striata Type 2 – a condition characterised by thickened, striated skin primarily affecting the palms and soles. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology provides the most accurate analysis available, giving you reliable results you can trust for making informed health decisions.

This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Unexplained thickening of skin on palms and/or soles
- Striated or linear patterns of skin thickening
- Family history of similar skin conditions
- Persistent skin changes that don’t respond to conventional treatments
- Concerns about passing skin conditions to children
Many South Africans with these symptoms have found answers through genetic testing, helping them understand their condition and explore appropriate management strategies.
