| Sample Type | Whole Blood or DNA FTA Card | Blood only, requires fresh sample |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a Consultant Medical Genetics, I emphasize that genetic test results must always be clinically correlated with skin, ocular, and cardiovascular findings. This test is not a stand-alone diagnosis; it provides a powerful piece of the puzzle. Please discuss your results with your dermatologist and genetic counselor for a complete care plan.”
