KRT5 Gene Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction to the Test
The KRT5 Gene Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex NGS Genetic DNA Test is a specialized diagnostic tool used to identify mutations in the KRT5 gene, which are responsible for epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS), a genetic skin disorder characterized by extreme fragility of the skin. This test utilizes Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to provide accurate and comprehensive results.
What the Test Measures
This genetic test measures the presence of specific mutations in the KRT5 gene. By analyzing the DNA, it helps in determining whether an individual carries the genetic alterations that could lead to EBS, aiding in early diagnosis and management.
