Find Clarity About Your Skin Health with DSG1 Gene Testing
If you’ve been struggling with unexplained thickening of the skin on your palms and soles, you’re not alone. Many South Africans live with the uncertainty of inherited skin conditions that can affect daily life and cause unnecessary worry. Our DSG1 Gene Keratosis Palmoplantaris Striata Type 1 test provides the definitive answers you deserve, using cutting-edge genetic technology to give you peace of mind and a clear path forward.
Understanding Your DSG1 Gene Test
This specialised genetic test examines the DSG1 gene, which plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy skin structure. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to Keratosis Palmoplantaris Striata Type 1 – a condition characterised by thickened skin in specific patterns on your hands and feet. Our Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology provides the most accurate analysis available, examining every relevant part of your genetic code with precision that traditional methods can’t match.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Unexplained thickening of skin on palms and soles
- Linear or striated patterns of skin changes
- Family history of similar skin conditions
- Difficulty with daily activities due to skin changes
- Concerns about passing genetic conditions to children
Many South African families have found relief and direction through genetic testing, especially when skin conditions have been present across generations.

- Work with dermatologists to create personalised treatment plans
