Find Clarity for Your Skin Health Journey
If you’ve been struggling with persistent thickening of the skin on your palms and soles, accompanied by painful punctate lesions that impact your daily life, you’re not alone. The uncertainty surrounding these symptoms can be overwhelming, affecting everything from simple handshakes to walking comfortably. Our AAGAB Gene Keratoderma Palmoplantar Punctate Type 1A NGS Genetic DNA Test offers the definitive answers you deserve, providing a clear path forward in your skin health management.
Understanding Your Genetic Test
This specialised genetic test uses advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to examine the AAGAB gene for specific mutations associated with Palmoplantar Punctate Type 1A Keratoderma. Unlike general skin tests, this targeted analysis looks directly at the genetic blueprint that may be causing your symptoms, offering precise diagnostic information that goes beyond surface-level observations.
The test examines the genetic code responsible for the development and maintenance of skin structure on your palms and soles. When mutations occur in the AAGAB gene, they can disrupt normal skin cell development, leading to the characteristic thickening and punctate lesions you may be experiencing.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Progressive thickening of skin on palms and soles
- Small, punctate (dot-like) lesions or keratoses
- Discomfort or pain when walking or using your hands
- Family history of similar skin conditions
- Uncertain diagnosis despite previous dermatological evaluations
- Concerns about passing the condition to children
Many South Africans with these symptoms have found relief and direction through genetic testing, moving from uncertainty to empowered health management.
