DSP Gene Keratosis Palmoplantaris Striata Type 2 NGS Genetic DNA Test
Comprehensive Genetic Testing for Inherited Skin Disorders
The DSP Gene Keratosis Palmoplantaris Striata Type 2 NGS Genetic DNA Test represents a cutting-edge diagnostic approach for identifying genetic mutations associated with Striate Palmoplantar Keratoderma Type 2. This specialized test utilizes advanced Next-Generation Sequencing technology to analyze the DSP (Desmoplakin) gene, providing crucial insights into the genetic basis of this inherited skin condition that affects thousands of individuals across the United States.
What This Test Measures and Detects
Our comprehensive genetic analysis specifically targets mutations in the DSP gene, which encodes the desmoplakin protein essential for maintaining skin integrity and cellular adhesion. The test identifies:
- Point mutations in the DSP gene coding regions
- Small insertions and deletions affecting gene function
- Pathogenic variants linked to Striate Palmoplantar Keratoderma Type 2
- Genetic markers associated with disease severity and progression
- Inheritance patterns for family planning considerations
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test
This specialized genetic test is recommended for individuals experiencing:
- Progressive thickening of skin on palms and soles (hyperkeratosis)
- Linear or striate patterns of skin thickening on hands and feet
- Family history of similar skin conditions
- Early-onset palmoplantar keratoderma symptoms
- Unexplained skin abnormalities despite conventional treatments
- Planning for family and concerned about genetic inheritance
