Understanding Hereditary Hearing Loss: Your Path to Clarity Starts Here
When hearing loss runs in your family, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. You may worry about your children’s future or wonder if your own hearing will be affected. The TECTA Gene Deafness Autosomal Dominant Type 12 NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the answers you need with scientific precision and compassionate care. At Oracle Genomics, we understand the emotional weight of genetic testing and are here to support you every step of the way.
What This Test Reveals About Your Genetic Health
The TECTA 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 dominant deafness type 12 – a hereditary condition that affects hearing ability across generations. Our advanced NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) technology examines your DNA with remarkable accuracy to identify these specific genetic variations.
Unlike basic hearing tests that measure current hearing ability, this genetic test looks at the underlying cause, providing insights that can help with early intervention and family planning decisions.
Is This Test Right for You or Your Family?
Consider genetic testing if you or your family members experience:
- Progressive hearing loss that began in childhood or early adulthood
- Multiple family members across generations with hearing impairment
- Concerns about passing hearing loss to your children
- Unexplained hearing loss without clear environmental causes
- Planning for pregnancy and wanting to understand genetic risks
Many South African families discover that their hearing challenges have a genetic basis, and understanding this can bring both clarity and empowerment.
Why Early Genetic Detection Matters for Your Family’s Future
Knowing your genetic status provides numerous benefits for your health journey:
- Early Intervention: Identify at-risk children early for timely hearing support
- Family Planning: Make informed decisions with genetic counselling guidance
