Protect Your Family’s Hearing Future with GJB2 Gene Testing
Are you worried about hereditary hearing loss affecting your children or future generations? The uncertainty can be overwhelming, but knowledge brings power. Our GJB2 Gene Deafness Autosomal Recessive Type 1A NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity you need to make informed decisions about your family’s health.
Understanding the GJB2 Gene Deafness Test
The GJB2 gene plays a crucial role in hearing function, and mutations in this gene are the most common cause of hereditary hearing loss worldwide. Our advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your DNA with 99.9% accuracy to identify any mutations that could lead to autosomal recessive deafness type 1A. This means both parents must carry the gene mutation for their child to be affected, making carrier testing particularly valuable for family planning.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
- Couples planning pregnancy with family history of hearing loss
- Individuals diagnosed with unexplained hearing impairment
- Parents of children with congenital hearing loss
- People with relatives affected by genetic deafness
