Understanding Your Risk for Epidermolysis Bullosa Dystrophica
Living with concerns about fragile skin or blistering conditions can be overwhelming. If you or your loved ones experience skin that tears easily, forms blisters from minor friction, or shows signs of epidermolysis bullosa, you’re not alone. Our MMP1 Gene NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the answers you need to understand your genetic risk and take proactive steps for better health management.
What This Test Reveals About Your Genetic Health
The MMP1 gene plays a crucial role in modifying the severity of epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica, a genetic condition that affects skin integrity. Using advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, our test examines your DNA to identify variations in the MMP1 gene that can influence how this condition manifests. This isn’t just about diagnosis – it’s about understanding your unique genetic profile to help guide treatment decisions and family planning.
Is This Test Right for You or Your Family?
Consider this genetic test if you experience:
- Fragile skin that blisters or tears easily from minor friction
- Family history of epidermolysis bullosa or similar skin conditions
- Unexplained skin fragility since birth or early childhood
- Concerns about passing genetic conditions to children
- Need for clarity about your specific type of epidermolysis bullosa
Many South African families find peace of mind through genetic testing, especially when there’s uncertainty about inherited conditions.
Why Early Genetic Understanding Matters for Your Health
Knowing your MMP1 gene status provides several crucial benefits:
- Personalised Care: Helps dermatologists create targeted treatment plans
- Family Planning: Enables informed decisions about having children
- Early Intervention: Allows proactive management before symptoms worsen
- Peace of Mind: Reduces uncertainty and anxiety about your genetic health
- Better Outcomes: Guides appropriate wound care and skin protection strategies

We know waiting for genetic test results can be stressful. That’s why we provide comprehensive support throughout the process. Your results will clearly indicate whether MMP1 gene variations are present and what they mean for your health. Our genetic counsellors will walk you through every detail, explaining the implications in language you can understand. Remember, genetic information is powerful – it gives you control over your health journey rather than leaving you in uncertainty.
