Understanding Your Genetic Health: SLC45A2 Albinism Testing
When albinism runs in your family, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. You deserve clear answers and professional guidance to understand your genetic makeup and make informed health decisions. Our SLC45A2 Gene Albinism Oculocutaneous Type 4 NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity and confidence you need to navigate your health journey with peace of mind.
What This Test Reveals About Your Health
The SLC45A2 gene plays a crucial role in producing melanin, the pigment that gives colour to your skin, hair, and eyes. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to oculocutaneous albinism type 4 – a condition affecting both vision and skin pigmentation. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your DNA with exceptional precision, identifying even the smallest genetic variations that could impact your health.
Is This Test Right for You?
Consider this genetic test if you or your family members experience:
- Family history of albinism or vision challenges
- Unusually light skin, hair, or eye colour compared to family members
- Vision difficulties including sensitivity to light or reduced visual acuity
- Planning for pregnancy with known albinism in the family
- Unexplained vision problems in childhood
Many South African families find peace of mind through genetic testing, especially when multiple generations show similar symptoms.

Understanding your genetic status provides powerful advantages:
- Early Intervention: Manage vision challenges and skin protection needs from childhood
