Find Clarity About Prolidase Deficiency with Advanced Genetic Testing
When you’re facing unexplained health challenges like chronic skin ulcers, developmental concerns, or recurrent infections, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. Our PEPD Gene Prolidase Deficiency NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the definitive answers you need to understand your genetic health and take control of your wellbeing.
Understanding Your PEPD Gene Test
Prolidase Deficiency is a rare metabolic disorder that affects how your body processes collagen – the essential protein that gives structure to your skin, bones, and connective tissues. When the PEPD gene isn’t working properly, it can lead to a buildup of substances that cause skin ulcers, developmental delays, and other health concerns.
Our advanced NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) technology examines your PEPD gene with exceptional accuracy, identifying even the smallest genetic variations that could be affecting your health. This isn’t just a test – it’s a pathway to understanding your body’s unique needs.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test could provide life-changing answers if you or your child experience:
- Unexplained skin ulcers that don’t heal properly
- Developmental delays or intellectual disability
- Recurrent infections or immune system concerns
- Facial features that may suggest genetic conditions
- Splenomegaly (enlarged spleen) without clear cause
- Family history of similar symptoms or genetic disorders
Many South African families have found relief and direction through genetic testing, moving from uncertainty to actionable health plans.
