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.
What the Test Measures
This test specifically detects mutations in the AAGAB gene. By analyzing your DNA through Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we can identify any genetic alterations that may lead to the development of keratoderma.

If you or a family member are experiencing symptoms such as:
- Thickened skin on palms and soles
- Cracking and peeling skin
- Discomfort or pain in affected areas
- Family history of skin disorders
then this test may be recommended by your dermatologist.
Benefits of Taking the Test
