Understanding Your Family’s Risk for Hereditary Deafness
When hearing loss runs in your family, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. You worry about your children’s future, question every missed sound, and wonder about the genetic legacy you might pass on. At Oracle Genomics, we understand these concerns deeply. Our MYO7A Gene Deafness Test provides the clarity and answers you need to make informed decisions about your family’s health.
What This Test Reveals About Your Genetic Health
The MYO7A gene plays a crucial role in the development and function of your inner ear. When mutations occur in this gene, they can lead to autosomal recessive deafness type 2 – a hereditary condition that affects hearing from birth or early childhood. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your DNA with exceptional precision, identifying even the smallest genetic variations that could impact your hearing health.
This isn’t just a test – it’s a comprehensive genetic assessment that helps you understand your family’s unique genetic blueprint for hearing health.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Unexplained hearing loss in multiple family members
- Children born with hearing impairment
- Family history of congenital deafness
- Planning for pregnancy with concerns about genetic inheritance
- Diagnosed with hearing loss without clear cause
Many South African families carry genetic variations without knowing it. Early detection through genetic testing can provide crucial information for family planning and early intervention.
Why Early Genetic Detection Matters for Your Family
Knowing your genetic status empowers you to take control of your family’s hearing health. The benefits include:
- Family Planning Confidence: Make informed decisions about having children with understanding of inheritance risks
- Early Intervention Opportunities: Identify at-risk children early for timely support and management
- Peace of Mind: Replace uncertainty with clear, scientific understanding of your genetic makeup
- Personalised Healthcare: Work with your ENT specialist to create targeted hearing health strategies
- Breaking the Cycle: Understand inheritance patterns to protect future generations
Understanding Your Test Results with Compassion
We know that waiting for genetic test results can be anxiety-provoking. That’s why our process includes comprehensive genetic counselling both before and after testing. Your results will be clearly explained by our genetic specialists, who will help you understand:
- What your specific genetic variations mean for your hearing health
- How these results might affect other family members
