Understanding Your Family’s Genetic Health: EDAR Gene Ectodermal Dysplasia Testing
When hereditary conditions like ectodermal dysplasia affect your family, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. You deserve clear answers and professional guidance to understand your genetic risks. Our EDAR gene test provides the definitive clarity you need, combining cutting-edge NGS technology with compassionate genetic counselling specifically designed for South African families.
What This Test Reveals About Your Genetic Health
The EDAR gene test uses Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to detect mutations associated with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, an autosomal recessive condition. This means both parents must carry the gene mutation for a child to be affected. Our test provides comprehensive analysis of the EDAR gene, giving you precise information about your genetic status and helping you understand inheritance patterns within your family.
Who Should Consider EDAR Gene Testing?
This test is particularly important if you or family members experience:
- Reduced ability to sweat (hypohidrosis) leading to heat intolerance
- Thin, sparse hair and missing or abnormal teeth
- Dry skin and respiratory issues
- Family history of ectodermal dysplasia symptoms
- Planning pregnancy with known family genetic risks
- Unexplained developmental concerns in children
Many South African families discover these symptoms run in their family tree, making genetic testing essential for informed health decisions.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Family’s Health
Understanding your EDAR gene status provides life-changing benefits:
- Family Planning Confidence: Make informed decisions about having children with reduced genetic risk
- Early Intervention: Implement preventive measures for affected children before symptoms worsen
- Peace of Mind: Eliminate uncertainty about hereditary conditions in your family
- Medical Management: Work with dermatologists to create targeted treatment plans
- Genetic Counselling: Professional guidance to understand complex inheritance patterns

- Detailed analysis of EDAR gene mutations detected
- Personalised risk assessment for family members
- Visual pedigree chart showing inheritance patterns
- Recommendations for medical follow-up and management

We ensure you leave with complete understanding and a clear path forward, reducing anxiety about complex genetic information.
