TMC1 Gene Deafness Autosomal Recessive Type 7 Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the TMC1 Gene Deafness Autosomal Recessive Type 7 Genetic Test. This test is designed to diagnose individuals with TMC1 gene deafness, also known as autosomal recessive type 7 (DFNB7) deafness. This type of genetic hearing loss is caused by mutations in the TMC1 gene.
Test Components and Price
The cost of the TMC1 Gene Deafness Autosomal Recessive Type 7 Genetic Test is 4400.0 AED. The test requires a blood sample, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Report Delivery and Method
After the sample is collected, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks. The test is performed using NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology, which allows for the analysis of multiple genes simultaneously.
Test Type and Doctor
The TMC1 Gene Deafness Autosomal Recessive Type 7 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 TMC1 Gene Deafness Autosomal Recessive Type 7 Genetic Test is conducted in our Genetics department. Before undergoing the test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient who is going for CATSPER2 Gene Deafness and male infertility, CATSPER2 related NGS Genetic DNA Test. A Genetic Counselling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with CATSPER2 Gene Deafness and male infertility, CATSPER2 related NGS Genetic DNA Test gene CATSPER11.
Test Details
The TMC1 gene provides instructions for making a protein that is essential for normal hearing. Mutations in this gene can disrupt the function of the protein, leading to hearing loss. The NGS genetic testing for TMC1 gene deafness can identify these mutations and help diagnose individuals with this specific type of hearing loss. It also provides important information for genetic counseling, treatment, and management options.
In addition, the test can be used for carrier testing to determine if an individual carries a mutation in the TMC1 gene and has the potential to pass it on to their children.
It is crucial to note that the TMC1 Gene Deafness Autosomal Recessive Type 7 Genetic Test should be performed by a qualified healthcare professional or genetic counselor who can interpret the results and provide appropriate guidance and support.

TMC1 gene deafness, also known as autosomal recessive type 7 (DFNB7) deafness, is a type of genetic hearing loss caused by mutations in the TMC1 gene. The TMC1 gene provides instructions for making a protein that is essential for normal hearing. Mutations in this gene can disrupt the function of the protein, leading to hearing loss. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic test that uses advanced sequencing technology to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the case of TMC1 gene deafness, an NGS genetic test can identify mutations in the TMC1 gene that may be causing or contributing to a person’s hearing loss. NGS genetic testing for TMC1 gene deafness can help diagnose individuals with this specific type of hearing loss and provide important information for genetic counseling, treatment, and management options. It can also be used for carrier testing to determine if an individual carries a mutation in the TMC1 gene and has the potential to pass it on to their children. It is important to note that genetic testing for TMC1 gene deafness should be performed by a qualified healthcare professional or genetic counselor, who can interpret the results and provide appropriate guidance and support. |
