Understanding SMARCAD1 Gene Adermatoglyphia: Your Path to Genetic Clarity
Living without fingerprints or with unusual dermatological patterns can feel isolating and raise many questions about your health and identity. We understand the emotional journey of seeking answers about this rare genetic condition. Our SMARCAD1 Gene Adermatoglyphia NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the definitive clarity you deserve, using cutting-edge technology to give you peace of mind about your genetic makeup.
What This Test Detects
Adermatoglyphia, commonly known as “immigration delay disease,” is a rare genetic condition where individuals are born without fingerprints. Our advanced NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology specifically examines the SMARCAD1 gene to identify mutations responsible for this unique dermatological characteristic. This isn’t just about fingerprints – it’s about understanding your complete genetic blueprint and how it affects your skin development.
Who Should Consider This Test
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Complete absence of fingerprints from birth
- Difficulty with fingerprint-based identification systems
- Family history of similar dermatological patterns
- Concerns about genetic conditions affecting skin development
- Planning for family and wanting to understand genetic risks
Many South Africans with this condition have faced challenges with identification documents, border control, and employment verification. Getting genetic confirmation can help navigate these practical challenges with confidence.

Beyond providing answers about fingerprint absence, this test offers significant health benefits:
- Definitive Diagnosis: Move from uncertainty to clear understanding of your genetic condition
