Understanding Your Skin Health Journey
If you’ve been struggling with multiple skin cysts that seem to run in your family, you’re not alone. Many South Africans face the uncertainty and discomfort of steatocystoma multiplex without understanding the underlying genetic cause. Our KRT17 gene test provides the clarity you deserve, helping you take control of your skin health with confidence and peace of mind.
What Does This Test Detect?
This advanced genetic test specifically analyses the KRT17 gene using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology – the gold standard in genetic testing. The KRT17 gene provides instructions for making keratin 17, a protein essential for maintaining the strength and structure of skin, hair, and nails. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to steatocystoma multiplex, causing multiple sebaceous cysts to develop, typically during adolescence or early adulthood.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Multiple sebaceous cysts appearing during teenage years or early adulthood
- Family history of similar skin conditions
- Cysts that are recurrent and difficult to manage
- Concerns about passing the condition to your children
- Unexplained skin lesions that haven’t responded to conventional treatments
Why This Matters for Your Health
Getting a definitive genetic diagnosis offers significant benefits:
- Peace of Mind: End the uncertainty about your skin condition
- Informed Family Planning: Understand the inheritance pattern for future generations
- Targeted Management: Work with your dermatologist on appropriate treatment strategies
- Early Intervention: Identify at-risk family members before symptoms develop
- Reduced Anxiety: Replace worry with understanding and control
