GJB6 Gene Deafness autosomal recessive type 1B Genetic Test
Welcome to DNA Labs UAE, where we offer the GJB6 Gene Deafness autosomal recessive type 1B Genetic Test. This test is designed to diagnose and provide valuable insights into the condition known as Deafness, autosomal recessive type 1B (DFNB1B).
Test Details
The GJB6 gene is responsible for producing a protein called connexin 30, which plays a crucial role in the formation of gap junctions in the inner ear. Gap junctions are channels that allow the exchange of ions and small molecules between cells, which is essential for the normal functioning of the auditory system.
DFNB1B is a genetic condition characterized by moderate to profound hearing loss. It is caused by mutations in the GJB6 gene, resulting in a loss or dysfunction of connexin 30. Our Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes, including GJB6, in a single test. This enables the identification of various mutations and genetic variants associated with DFNB1B.
Test Components and Price
Our GJB6 Gene Deafness autosomal recessive type 1B Genetic Test is priced at AED 4400.0. The test can be conducted using a blood sample, extracted DNA, or even just one drop of blood on an FTA Card.
Report Delivery and Method
Once the test is conducted, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks. Our NGS technology ensures accurate and efficient analysis of the genetic information.
Test Type and Doctor
The GJB6 Gene Deafness autosomal recessive type 1B Genetic Test falls under the category of Ear Nose Throat Disorders. It is recommended to consult with an ENT Doctor for this test.
Test Department and Pre-Test Information
The GJB6 Gene Deafness autosomal recessive type 1B Genetic Test is conducted in our Genetics department. Before taking the test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient who is going for the SLC52A3 Gene Brown-Vialetto-Van Laere syndrome 1 NGS Genetic DNA Test. A Genetic Counselling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with the SLC52A3 Gene Brown-Vialetto-Van Laere syndrome 1 NGS Genetic DNA Test gene SLC52A9.
Benefits of the GJB6 Gene Deafness autosomal recessive type 1B Genetic Test
By performing an NGS genetic test for GJB6 gene mutations, individuals with suspected DFNB1B can receive a definitive diagnosis. This information can help guide treatment options and provide valuable insights into the inheritance pattern and recurrence risk for affected individuals and their families.
At DNA Labs UAE, we are committed to providing accurate and reliable genetic testing services. Contact us today to schedule your GJB6 Gene Deafness autosomal recessive type 1B Genetic Test.
