Find Answers for Unexplained Skin Blistering with KRT5 Gene Testing
When your skin blisters easily from minor friction or heat, it can feel like your body is constantly betraying you. The uncertainty, pain, and social isolation of Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex can be overwhelming. We understand the emotional journey you’re on, and our KRT5 Gene Test provides the clarity and answers you deserve to move forward with confidence.
Understanding Your KRT5 Genetic Test
This advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) test examines your KRT5 gene – the blueprint that determines your skin’s structural integrity. When this gene contains mutations, it can lead to Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex, causing your skin layers to separate and form painful blisters with minimal trauma.
Our test doesn’t just identify problems; it provides a roadmap for managing your condition effectively. With 99.9% accuracy and comprehensive analysis, you’ll receive definitive answers about your genetic makeup and what it means for your skin health.

This test is essential if you experience:
- Recurrent skin blistering from minor friction or heat exposure
- Fragile skin that tears easily
- Family history of similar skin conditions
- Unexplained nail abnormalities or hair loss
