Find Clarity About Extreme Sun Sensitivity with ERCC5 Gene Testing
If you or your child experiences severe reactions to sunlight, develops freckles easily, or has a family history of skin conditions that worsen with sun exposure, you understand the constant worry. The ERCC5 Gene Xeroderma Pigmentosum test provides the answers you need to protect your family’s health and plan for the future with confidence.
Understanding Your ERCC5 Gene Test
Xeroderma Pigmentosum is a rare genetic condition that affects the body’s ability to repair DNA damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) light. The ERCC5 gene plays a crucial role in this repair process. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines this specific gene to identify any mutations that could be affecting your health.
This isn’t just a simple blood test – it’s a comprehensive genetic analysis that provides life-changing information about your body’s natural defences against sun damage.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Extreme sunburn after minimal sun exposure
- Development of freckles at a very young age
- Dry skin and changes in skin pigmentation
- Eye problems when exposed to sunlight
- Family history of skin cancers developing at young ages
- Known family history of Xeroderma Pigmentosum
Early detection through genetic testing can help implement protective measures that significantly improve quality of life.
