Find Clarity for Persistent Skin Conditions with SLURP1 Gene Testing
Living with unexplained skin thickening, scaling, or palmoplantar keratoderma can be frustrating and isolating. When traditional treatments don’t provide answers, genetic testing offers hope. Our SLURP1 Gene Mal de Meleda NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the definitive diagnosis you’ve been searching for, helping you understand the genetic basis of your skin condition and guiding effective management strategies.
Understanding the SLURP1 Gene Mal de Meleda Test
Mal de Meleda is a rare genetic skin disorder characterised by thick, scaly skin on the palms and soles, often appearing in infancy or early childhood. Our advanced NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) technology examines the SLURP1 gene with exceptional accuracy, identifying specific mutations that cause this condition. This isn’t just another test – it’s a comprehensive genetic investigation that provides the clarity needed for proper diagnosis and management.

This test is specifically designed for individuals and families experiencing:
- Persistent thickening of skin on palms and soles (palmoplantar keratoderma)
- Progressive scaling that begins in infancy or early childhood
