Find Clarity for Your Skin Health with KRT1 Gene Testing
Living with unexplained skin thickening, blistering, or persistent scaling can feel overwhelming and isolating. You’ve likely tried numerous treatments without lasting relief, leaving you searching for answers. Our KRT1 Gene Epidermolytic Hyperkeratosis NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the definitive diagnosis you need to finally understand your condition and develop an effective management plan.
Understanding the KRT1 Gene Test
This advanced genetic test examines the KRT1 gene using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, the gold standard in genetic analysis. The KRT1 gene provides instructions for making keratin 1, a protein essential for maintaining the strength and structure of your skin’s outer layer. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to epidermolytic hyperkeratosis – a condition characterized by thickened, scaly skin that may blister easily.
Our test doesn’t just identify if you have the condition; it provides specific information about the genetic mutation, which can help guide treatment decisions and family planning.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Persistent thickening and scaling of the skin, especially on palms and soles
- Recurrent skin blistering, particularly in response to minor friction
- A family history of similar skin conditions
- Unexplained skin abnormalities since birth or early childhood
- Previous inconclusive dermatological evaluations
Many South Africans with these symptoms have found life-changing answers through genetic testing, allowing them to move from uncertainty to effective management.
