KCNQ4 Gene Deafness Autosomal Dominant Type 2A Genetic Test
Are you or a loved one experiencing deafness? DNA Labs UAE offers the KCNQ4 Gene Deafness Autosomal Dominant Type 2A Genetic Test to help diagnose and understand this condition. Read on to learn more about the test, its components, cost, symptoms, diagnosis, and more.
Test Details
The KCNQ4 gene is responsible for encoding a protein called potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Q member 4. This protein plays a crucial role in the functioning of the inner ear, specifically in the maintenance of the cochlear hair cells that are involved in hearing. Deafness caused by mutations in the KCNQ4 gene is known as autosomal dominant type 2A deafness. This means that a person only needs to inherit one copy of the mutated gene from either parent to develop the condition. This form of deafness typically affects both ears and can be present from birth or develop later in life.
NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic testing that allows for the rapid and cost-effective analysis of multiple genes simultaneously. In the context of KCNQ4 gene deafness, NGS genetic testing can identify any mutations or variations in the KCNQ4 gene that may be responsible for the condition. By identifying the specific mutation in the KCNQ4 gene, NGS genetic testing can provide a definitive diagnosis for individuals with autosomal dominant type 2A deafness. This information can be useful in understanding the underlying cause of the deafness and may help guide treatment and management options.
It’s important to note that genetic testing for KCNQ4 gene deafness is typically performed in a clinical setting by healthcare professionals trained in genetics. The results of the genetic test should be interpreted by a qualified geneticist or genetic counselor, who can provide appropriate counseling and support based on the findings.
