Take Control of Your Hearing Health Journey
When hearing loss runs in your family, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. You deserve clear answers and peace of mind about your genetic health. Our TBC1D24 Gene Deafness Autosomal Dominant Type 65 NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the scientific clarity you need to make informed decisions about your health and family planning.
Many South African families face the challenge of hereditary hearing conditions without understanding their genetic origins. With our specialised testing, you can break the cycle of uncertainty and gain the knowledge needed to protect your hearing health for generations to come.
Understanding Your TBC1D24 Gene Deafness Test
The TBC1D24 gene plays a crucial role in the development and function of the inner ear. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to autosomal dominant deafness type 65 – meaning there’s a 50% chance of passing the condition to each child if one parent carries the mutation.
Our test uses cutting-edge Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to examine your TBC1D24 gene with exceptional accuracy. This isn’t just a simple screening – it’s a comprehensive analysis that looks deep into your genetic blueprint to identify specific mutations that could affect your hearing health.
Unlike basic hearing tests that measure current function, our genetic test provides insights into your future hearing health risks, giving you the power to take proactive measures.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you identify with any of these situations:
- You have a family history of hearing loss, especially if it appears in multiple generations
- You’re planning to start a family and want to understand potential genetic risks
- You’re experiencing unexplained hearing changes and want comprehensive answers
- You have relatives diagnosed with autosomal dominant deafness type 65
- You want peace of mind about your genetic hearing health status
- You’re working with an ENT specialist to understand the root cause of hearing concerns
Many patients from Johannesburg to Cape Town have found life-changing clarity through this testing, enabling them to make confident health decisions.
