AAGAB Gene Keratoderma Palmoplantar Punctate Type 1A NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction to the Test
The AAGAB Gene Keratoderma Palmoplantar Punctate Type 1A NGS Genetic DNA Test is a specialized genetic test designed to identify mutations in the AAGAB gene, which are associated with palmoplantar keratoderma. This condition leads to the thickening of the skin on the palms and soles, causing discomfort and potential complications. Understanding your genetic predisposition is crucial for effective management and treatment.
