Understanding Hereditary Deafness and Dental Conditions in Your Family
When hearing loss and dental abnormalities run in your family, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. You deserve clear answers about your genetic health and the peace of mind that comes with understanding your risk for DSPP-related conditions. Our comprehensive genetic testing provides the clarity South African families need to make informed healthcare decisions.
What This Test Reveals About Your Genetic Health
The DSPP gene test examines specific genetic mutations that cause autosomal dominant deafness type 39 and dentinogenesis imperfecta type 1. Using advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we analyse your DNA to identify whether you carry these hereditary conditions that can affect both hearing and dental development.
This isn’t just a test – it’s a pathway to understanding your family’s health legacy and taking control of your genetic future.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Progressive hearing loss that began in childhood or early adulthood
- Unusual tooth discolouration (amber, grey, or translucent appearance)
- Teeth that chip, fracture, or wear down easily
- Family history of both hearing and dental problems
- Planning for pregnancy with concerns about hereditary conditions
- Unexplained dental abnormalities despite good oral hygiene
If these symptoms sound familiar, genetic testing can provide the answers you’ve been seeking.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Understanding your genetic status empowers you to:
- Take proactive steps to preserve your hearing health
- Implement appropriate dental care strategies early
- Make informed family planning decisions
- Reduce anxiety through definitive answers
- Access appropriate medical interventions sooner
- Participate in regular monitoring for optimal health outcomes
Knowledge is power when it comes to managing genetic conditions effectively.
