Dermatological skin conditions are a large number of clinical manifestations that can affect between 30% and 70% of the population worldwide1, and they can vary greatly in symptoms and severity. In the United States, they can affect one in every three Americans, and in 2013, skin diseases were responsible for $ 75 billion in costs to the healthcare system. In Europe, more than 40% of the population has already reported some kind of skin condition1,2.
The test aims to provide relevant clinical information to improve the treatment of acne. Recommended prescriptions were assembled in accordance with the best clinical practices and international guidelines to ensure that the resulting report significantly improves healthcare outcomes and understanding.
About AcneTest
AcneTest use an advanced, pharmacogenomics-centered algorithm that assesses skin genetic predisposition and patient anamnesis to guide and improve the treatment of acne. AcneTest evaluates 29 SNPs, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) curated and reviewed by our team of clinicians.
Our test is a pharmacogenomics-centered test intended to guide and personalize the treatment of acne by combining genetic data with relevant patient anamnesis through an advanced algorithm. The results help dermatologists personalize acne treatment and prevent permanent scarring and hyperpigmentation.
