Detail Description

ERCC4 Gene Xeroderma pigmentosum, group F NGS Genetic DNA Test cost INR:20000 symptoms diagnosis

Xeroderma pigmentosum, group F is a rare genetic disorder that affects the skin and eyes. It is caused by mutations in the ERCC4 gene, which is responsible for repairing damaged DNA. Individuals with Xeroderma pigmentosum, group F are unable to repair DNA damage caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or other sources. This leads to an increased risk of skin cancers and other skin abnormalities.

• Freckling of the skin
• Development of dry, scaly, and itchy skin patches
• Development of skin cancers, such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma
• Eye problems, such as conjunctivitis and cataracts
