Find Clarity About Your Skin Health with the XPC Gene Test
When every sun exposure feels like a threat and family history weighs heavily on your mind, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. We understand that living with skin sensitivity or worrying about inherited conditions like Xeroderma Pigmentosum creates daily anxiety. Our XPC Gene Test provides the answers you need to protect your health and plan for your future with confidence.
Understanding the XPC Gene Test
The XPC Gene Test is a sophisticated genetic analysis that examines your XPC gene for mutations associated with Xeroderma Pigmentosum Group C. This condition affects your body’s ability to repair DNA damage from UV radiation, significantly increasing skin cancer risk. Using advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we provide comprehensive analysis with exceptional accuracy.
Think of it as giving your skin health a complete genetic blueprint – understanding your unique risk factors allows for proactive protection and early intervention strategies.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test brings peace of mind to individuals experiencing:
- Unexplained extreme sun sensitivity from early childhood
- Frequent, severe sunburns with minimal sun exposure
- Family history of Xeroderma Pigmentosum or early-onset skin cancers
- Multiple skin cancers appearing before age 20
- Eye sensitivity to light or vision problems in sunlight
- Planning for family and concerned about genetic inheritance
If you’ve been living with these concerns, you’re not alone. Many South Africans face similar worries about their skin health and genetic risks.
