Understanding Your Hair Loss: LPAR6 Gene Hypotrichosis Type 8 DNA Testing
When hair thinning or unusual hair loss patterns affect your confidence and quality of life, it’s natural to feel concerned and seek answers. Our LPAR6 Gene Hypotrichosis Type 8 NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity you need to understand your genetic predisposition to hereditary hair conditions. Using cutting-edge Next Generation Sequencing technology, we deliver accurate results that help you and your healthcare provider make informed decisions about your hair health management.
What This Test Detects
The LPAR6 gene plays a crucial role in hair follicle development and maintenance. Mutations in this specific gene can lead to Hypotrichosis Type 8, a hereditary condition characterised by sparse hair growth, unusual hair texture, or progressive hair loss that often begins in childhood. Our advanced NGS technology examines your DNA to identify any variations in the LPAR6 gene that may be contributing to your hair concerns.
Who Should Consider This Test
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Unusual hair thinning or loss patterns that began in childhood
- Family history of similar hair conditions across generations
- Sparse scalp hair with normal hair elsewhere on the body
- Hair texture changes that don’t respond to conventional treatments
- Concerns about passing hereditary hair conditions to your children
Many South African families have noticed these patterns but lacked access to proper genetic testing until now.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Understanding your genetic predisposition to LPAR6-related hair conditions provides several important benefits:
- Peace of Mind: Eliminate uncertainty about the cause of your hair concerns
- Informed Family Planning: Understand the inheritance patterns for future generations
- Personalised Management: Work with dermatologists to develop targeted care strategies
