Understanding Your Risk for Basal Cell Nevus Syndrome
When you’re concerned about unusual skin growths, jaw cysts, or have a family history of basal cell nevus syndrome (Gorlin syndrome), the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. We understand that waiting for answers about your genetic health creates anxiety, and that’s exactly why our SUFU Gene NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity and peace of mind you deserve.
What This Test Detects
The SUFU gene test specifically identifies mutations in the SUFU tumor suppressor gene, which plays a critical role in preventing uncontrolled cell growth. When this gene isn’t functioning properly, it can lead to basal cell nevus syndrome – a condition characterized by multiple basal cell carcinomas, jaw cysts, and other developmental abnormalities. Our advanced NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology examines your entire SUFU gene with 99.9% accuracy, giving you definitive answers about your genetic status.
Who Should Consider This Test
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Multiple basal cell skin cancers appearing before age 30
- Jaw cysts or unusual dental development
- Palmar or plantar pits (small depressions in palms/soles)
- Family history of basal cell nevus syndrome
- Early-onset medulloblastoma (brain tumor)
- Skeletal abnormalities or rib anomalies
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Knowing your SUFU gene status transforms your healthcare approach from reactive to proactive. Early detection allows for:
- Regular skin cancer screening and prevention strategies
- Monitoring for associated conditions like medulloblastoma
- Informed family planning decisions
- Personalized medical management plans
- Reduced anxiety through definitive answers
