SLC45A2
SLC45A2 (Solute Carrier Family 45 Member 2): SLC45A2 is a protein involved in melanin production, acting as a transporter of tyrosine, a key precursor in the melanin biosynthesis pathway. Variants of SLC45A2 contribute to human pigmentation differences, influencing skin, hair, and eye color. Mutations in this gene can cause oculocutaneous albinism type 4, characterized by reduced pigmentation and visual challenges. The function of SLC45A2 in pigmentation plays a role not only in physical appearance but also in protection against UV radiation and regulation of vitamin D synthesis.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
