Find Answers for Extreme Sun Sensitivity and Skin Cancer Risk
If you or your child experiences severe sunburns, develops freckles in sun-exposed areas at a young age, or has a family history of skin cancer, you understand the constant worry that comes with sun exposure. The ERCC2 Gene Xeroderma Pigmentosum test provides the clarity and peace of mind you deserve to protect your family’s health.
Understanding Your ERCC2 Gene Test
Xeroderma Pigmentosum is a rare genetic condition where your body cannot properly repair DNA damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight. The ERCC2 gene plays a crucial role in this repair process. When this gene has mutations, it creates Xeroderma Pigmentosum Group D, putting you at extremely high risk for skin cancers, eye problems, and neurological issues.
Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your ERCC2 gene with exceptional accuracy, identifying even the smallest genetic variations that could impact your health.
Who Should Consider This Important Test?
- Children or adults with severe, blistering sunburns after minimal sun exposure
- Individuals developing freckles or sunspots in childhood
- People with a family history of Xeroderma Pigmentosum
- Those experiencing eye irritation or sensitivity to bright light
- Individuals with multiple skin cancers at a young age
- Parents concerned about their child’s extreme sun sensitivity
If you recognise these symptoms in yourself or your family, this test could provide life-changing information for your health management.
