Find Clarity About Rare Genetic Skin and Hair Conditions
When you notice unusual hair brittleness, skin sensitivity, or developmental concerns in your child, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. The ERCC3 Gene Trichothiodystrophy NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the definitive answers South African families need to understand and manage this rare genetic condition with confidence and care.
Understanding Your ERCC3 Genetic Test
Trichothiodystrophy is a rare genetic disorder that affects hair structure, skin health, and sometimes neurological development. Our advanced NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) technology examines the ERCC3 gene with 99.9% accuracy, identifying specific mutations that cause this condition. This isn’t just a test – it’s a pathway to understanding your genetic makeup and making informed health decisions for your family’s future.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your child experience:
- Extremely brittle, fragile hair that breaks easily
- Unusual hair shaft abnormalities under microscopic examination
- Increased skin sensitivity to sunlight
- Developmental delays or intellectual disability
- Family history of similar hair and skin conditions
- Unexplained ichthyosis (fish-scale skin)
Early detection through genetic testing can help guide appropriate care and management strategies.
Why Genetic Testing Matters for Your Family’s Health
Getting a definitive diagnosis through genetic testing provides numerous benefits:
- Peace of Mind: End the uncertainty and know exactly what you’re dealing with
- Personalised Care: Develop targeted management strategies based on your specific genetic profile
- Family Planning: Understand inheritance patterns for future family decisions
