Find Answers for Unexplained Skin and Nail Conditions
Living with persistent peeling skin, unusual nail changes, or knuckle pads can be frustrating and worrying. You’ve likely tried various treatments without success, leaving you searching for real answers. Our CAST Gene Skin Disorder NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity you need to understand these complex conditions and take control of your health journey.
Understanding Your CAST Gene Test
This advanced genetic test examines the CAST gene, which plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy skin structure. When this gene has specific mutations, it can lead to a range of symptoms including peeling skin (especially on hands and feet), leukonychia (white spots on nails), acral punctate keratoses (small bumps on palms and soles), cheilitis (inflamed lips), and knuckle pads. Our Next Generation Sequencing technology provides the most accurate analysis available, giving you definitive answers about your genetic makeup.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is essential if you experience:
- Unexplained peeling skin that doesn’t respond to regular treatments
- White spots or streaks on your nails (leukonychia)
- Small, rough bumps on your palms or soles
- Persistent lip inflammation or cracking
- Thickened skin pads on your knuckles
- Family history of similar skin conditions
- Multiple symptoms occurring together without clear cause
Many South Africans struggle with these symptoms for years before getting proper diagnosis. Early genetic testing can prevent unnecessary treatments and provide the right care pathway.
