Skin health Genes Test

---

 · COL1A1 and COL3A1: These genes are involved in collagen production, affecting skin elasticity and the development of conditions like stretch marks and cellulite.

· MC1R: This gene influences skin pigmentation and is linked to susceptibility to sunburn, freckles, and skin cancer risk, especially melanoma.

· ELN and FBN1: Associated with the elasticity of the skin, these genes can impact the likelihood of developing sagging skin and wrinkles.

· FLG: Mutations in this gene are strongly linked to skin barrier function and are a known risk factor for conditions like eczema and atopic dermatitis.

· HLA: Certain variants in the Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) complex are associated with psoriasis and other inflammatory skin conditions.

· SOD2 and GPX1: These genes are involved in the body's oxidative stress response and can affect skin aging due to environmental factors like UV exposure.

· TERT and TERC: These genes are related to telomere length, which has been linked to the aging process, including the aging of the skin.

· ABCB1 and CYP2R1: These genes play roles in vitamin D metabolism, which is important for overall skin health.

· GJB2 and GJB6: Associated with skin disorders like keratoderma and hearing loss.

· NOTCH3: Linked to certain types of hair and skin disorders.

· VEGF: Involved in the formation of blood vessels, this gene can impact the development of conditions like rosacea and varicose veins.

  Our DNA analysis focuses on genetic variations associated with various skin traits, including:

• Propensity for cellulite formation

• Tendency to develop stretch marks

• Risk of varicose veins

• Skin inflammation tendencies, such as eczema, rosacea, and psoriasis

• Factors influencing skin aging, including glycation, oxidation, and wrinkle formation

• Characteristics related to sun exposure, like freckling, age spots, and the skin's tanning reaction
