Find Answers for Extreme Sun Sensitivity with UVSSA Gene Testing
Living with extreme sensitivity to sunlight can be frightening and isolating. If you’ve noticed that even brief sun exposure causes severe skin reactions, blistering, or unusual skin aging, you’re not alone. Our UVSSA Gene UV-Sensitive Syndrome Type 3 NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity and answers you deserve. Using cutting-edge genetic technology, we help South African families understand their unique sun sensitivity and take control of their skin health.
Understanding Your UVSSA Gene Test
The UVSSA gene plays a crucial role in your body’s ability to repair DNA damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight. When this gene contains mutations, it can lead to UV-sensitive syndrome type 3, also known as Cockayne syndrome type 3. Our advanced NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology examines your DNA with exceptional precision, identifying even the smallest genetic variations that could be affecting your sun tolerance.
This isn’t just a test – it’s a comprehensive health assessment that includes professional genetic counselling. Our specialists will help you create a family pedigree chart, tracing how UV sensitivity has affected your relatives, giving you a complete picture of your genetic inheritance.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is essential if you experience:
- Extreme sensitivity to sunlight with minimal exposure
- Frequent sunburns that seem disproportionate to sun exposure
- Premature skin aging or unusual skin changes
- Family history of sun sensitivity disorders
- Unexplained skin blistering or photosensitivity
- Concerns about passing sun sensitivity to children
Many South Africans struggle with sun-related skin issues, but true genetic UV sensitivity requires proper diagnosis and management. If you’ve been told you’re “just sensitive to the sun” without understanding why, this test provides the medical answers you need.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Understanding your UVSSA gene status empowers you to:
- Implement effective sun protection strategies tailored to your genetic needs
