Understanding Your Skin’s Genetic Blueprint: DST Gene EB Simplex Testing
When your skin feels fragile and blisters easily, it can affect every aspect of your daily life. The uncertainty about why this happens and what it means for your future can be overwhelming. At Oracle Genomics, we understand the emotional and physical challenges of living with skin fragility conditions, and we’re here to provide the answers you need through precise genetic testing.
What This Test Reveals About Your Genetic Health
The DST Gene Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex Autosomal Recessive Type 2 test examines your genetic makeup to identify mutations in the DST gene that cause this specific form of epidermolysis bullosa. Using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we analyse your DNA with exceptional accuracy to detect even the smallest genetic variations that could be affecting your skin’s structural integrity.
This isn’t just a test – it’s a pathway to understanding why your skin behaves the way it does and what you can do to manage your condition more effectively.
Is This Test Right for You?
This genetic test is particularly important if you experience:
- Easy blistering of the skin with minimal friction or trauma
- Fragile skin that tears easily
- Family history of epidermolysis bullosa or similar skin conditions
- Concerns about passing genetic conditions to your children
- Unexplained skin fragility that affects your quality of life
If you’re planning a family or have relatives with similar symptoms, this test can provide crucial information for your family planning decisions.
