Find Clarity About Albinism in Your Family
When albinism runs in your family, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. You deserve clear answers and compassionate guidance. Our TYR Gene Albinism Oculocutaneous Type 1B NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the definitive information you need to understand your genetic makeup and make informed decisions about your family’s future.
We understand the emotional weight of genetic testing. That’s why we combine cutting-edge technology with empathetic care, ensuring you feel supported every step of the way.
Understanding Your TYR Gene Albinism Test
The TYR gene provides instructions for making an enzyme called tyrosinase, which is essential for 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 1B.
Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your TYR gene with exceptional precision, identifying even the smallest genetic variations that could affect melanin production. This isn’t just a test – it’s a comprehensive genetic analysis that provides life-changing clarity.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Very light skin, hair, and eye colour compared to other family members
- Vision problems including reduced visual acuity, nystagmus (involuntary eye movements), or photophobia (light sensitivity)
- A family history of albinism or unexplained vision issues
- Planning for pregnancy and concerned about genetic inheritance
- Children showing signs of pigment deficiency or vision challenges
If you’re in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria or anywhere in South Africa, our nationwide network makes testing accessible and convenient.
