The DNA Skin Health Test is a very detailed genetic analysis of multiple different genes and variants that influence the health of your skin. Some variants influence the risk of different aspects of skin health (e.g. FLG variants affect the risk of eczema and dry skin), while others are more specific to one category. The skin health categories and analyzed genes are listed here.
- Collagen breakdown - MMP1, MMP3
- Glycation protection - GLO
- Oxidative damage - GPX1, NQO1
- Age spots - IRF4, MC1R, RALY
- Eczema - FLG
- Ichthyosis vulgaris (dry skin) - FLG
- Psoriasis - HLA-C, IL23R, MTHFR, TNFAIP3, TNIP1, IL12B, IL13, LCE3D
- Rosacea - HLA
- Cellulite - ACE, HIF1A
- Stretch marks - ELN
- Varicose veins - MTHFR
- Freckles - BNC2, ASIP, IRF4, MC1R, TYR
- Tanning response - TYR, ASIP, IRF4, MC1R, SLC45A2
