Pre Test Information
Prior to undergoing the GSDME Gene Deafness Autosomal Dominant Type 5 Genetic Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. This includes any relevant information about the patient’s condition and symptoms. Additionally, a genetic counseling session may be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with SLC52A2 Gene Brown-Vialetto-Van Laere syndrome type 2 NGS Genetic DNA Test gene SLC52A6.
Test Details
The GSDME gene, also known as Gasdermin E, is associated with autosomal dominant type 5 (DFNA5) genetic deafness. This means that a mutation in one copy of the GSDME gene is enough to cause the condition. The Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology is used to sequence the entire coding region of the GSDME gene and identify any mutations or variations that may be present.
The gasdermin E protein, encoded by the GSDME gene, plays a role in cell death and inflammation. Mutations in this gene can disrupt the normal function of the protein, leading to the death of certain cells in the inner ear and resulting in progressive hearing loss.
Genetic testing for GSDME-related deafness can help confirm a diagnosis in individuals suspected to have DFNA5 and identify family members who may be at risk of inheriting the condition. This information is valuable for genetic counseling, family planning, and potentially for developing targeted treatment approaches in the future.

Test Details |
GSDME (Gasdermin E) is a gene associated with a form of genetic deafness called autosomal dominant type 5 (DFNA5). This type of deafness is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, meaning that a mutation in one copy of the GSDME gene is sufficient to cause the condition. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) is a high-throughput technology used for genetic testing. In the context of GSDME-related deafness, NGS can be used to sequence the entire coding region of the GSDME gene and identify any mutations or variations that may be present. The GSDME gene encodes the gasdermin E protein, which is involved in cell death and inflammation. Mutations in this gene can disrupt the normal function of the protein and lead to the death of certain cells in the inner ear, resulting in progressive hearing loss. Genetic testing for GSDME-related deafness can help confirm a diagnosis in individuals with suspected DFNA5 and identify family members who may be at risk of inheriting the condition. This information can be useful for genetic counseling, family planning, and potentially for developing targeted treatment approaches in the future. |
