Understanding Usher Syndrome: Your Path to Clarity and Peace of Mind
If you’re worried about inherited vision and hearing challenges, or have noticed symptoms that concern you, our Usher Syndrome genetic test offers the answers you need. Usher Syndrome is a rare genetic condition that affects both hearing and vision, typically presenting from childhood through young adulthood. The uncertainty can be overwhelming, but early detection through genetic testing provides the clarity and direction needed for proactive health management.
What This Test Detects: Comprehensive Genetic Analysis
Our advanced Next Generation Sequencing technology examines 11 crucial genes associated with Usher Syndrome:
