Understanding Your Genetic Health: STRC Gene Testing for Deafness and Male Infertility
When you’re concerned about hereditary hearing loss or facing fertility challenges, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. Many South African families carry genetic variations in the STRC gene without knowing it, potentially affecting both hearing ability and male reproductive health. Our advanced NGS genetic testing provides the clarity you need to make informed decisions about your health and family planning.
What Does the STRC Gene Test Detect?
The STRC gene plays a crucial role in both hearing function and sperm development. When this gene contains mutations, it can lead to hereditary deafness and male infertility. Our Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your DNA to identify any variations in the STRC gene that could be impacting your health.
This isn’t just another genetic test – it’s a comprehensive analysis that looks specifically at the genetic factors that connect hearing health with reproductive health, giving you a complete picture of your genetic makeup.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Family history of hereditary hearing loss, especially starting in childhood
- Unexplained male infertility or sperm abnormalities
- Planning to start a family and concerned about genetic risks
- Personal hearing challenges with unknown causes
- Multiple family members with both hearing and fertility issues
Many patients in Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban have found answers through this testing when other medical investigations provided unclear results.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Understanding your STRC gene status provides numerous benefits:
- Peace of Mind: Eliminate uncertainty about genetic risks to your hearing and fertility
- Informed Family Planning: Make confident decisions about starting a family
- Early Intervention: Address hearing challenges before they significantly impact quality of life
- Cost Savings: Avoid years of expensive fertility treatments without clear direction
- Family Awareness: Help relatives understand their own genetic risks
