KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 26 (Bernama) — Public-listed healthcare company, Malaysian Genomics Resource Centre Berhad (MGRC), and its subsidiary, pathology services company Clinipath (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd (Clinipath) today announced the availability of Dtect Derma, a comprehensive genetic screening test that examines key genes associated with aesthetics and skin health.
Dtect Derma offers an extensive profile of traits related to skin youthfulness and premature ageing. Skin youthfulness is dependent upon many biological factors including nutrient metabolism, cellular ageing, collagen homeostasis (including collagen production, integrity and turnover), hydration, and elasticity. Premature ageing of the skin can be caused by lower collagen production, lower hydration, loss of elasticity, thinning of the skin, and age-related discolouration among many other factors.
