GJB2 Gene Keratoderma Palmoplantar with Deafness NGS Genetic DNA Test

Understanding GJB2 Gene Keratoderma Palmoplantar with Deafness

If you’re living with thickened, calloused skin on your palms and soles while also experiencing hearing challenges, you’re not alone. This dual condition can feel overwhelming, affecting both your daily comfort and communication abilities. Our GJB2 Gene Test provides the clarity you need to understand your genetic makeup and make informed health decisions for yourself and your family.

What This Test Detects

This advanced genetic test specifically examines the GJB2 gene, which plays a crucial role in both skin health and hearing function. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to keratoderma palmoplantar (thickened skin on palms and soles) combined with varying degrees of hearing loss. Our Next Generation Sequencing technology provides comprehensive analysis of this gene, identifying even subtle mutations that might be missed by other testing methods.

Who Should Consider This Test

• Individuals experiencing thickened, calloused skin specifically on palms and soles
• People with unexplained hearing loss or progressive hearing difficulties
• Those with a family history of both skin thickening and hearing problems
• Parents concerned about passing genetic conditions to their children
