The LOXHD1 gene is responsible for encoding a protein that plays a crucial role in the normal functioning of the inner ear, particularly in the hair cells that are essential for hearing. Mutations in the LOXHD1 gene can lead to a form of hearing loss known as deafness, autosomal recessive type 77 (DFNB77). This condition is characterized by prelingual, non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss, which means it occurs before speech development and is not associated with other symptoms. It is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, meaning that an individual must inherit two copies of the mutated gene, one from each parent, to be affected.

To diagnose this specific type of genetic hearing loss, a genetic test targeting the LOXHD1 gene can be conducted. In the United Arab Emirates, DNA Labs UAE offers this specialized genetic test. The test involves analyzing the patient’s DNA, extracted from a blood sample, to look for mutations in the LOXHD1 gene that are known to cause DFNB77. This test is crucial for early diagnosis and management of the condition, potentially allowing for interventions that could improve the quality of life for those affected.

The cost of the LOXHD1 gene deafness autosomal recessive type 77 genetic test at DNA Labs UAE is 4400 AED. This cost covers the process of collecting the sample, the genetic analysis, and the provision of a detailed report explaining the test results. For families with a history of this condition or for newborns showing signs of hearing loss, this test provides a valuable tool for confirming the diagnosis and guiding future care and treatment options.

LOXHD1 Gene Deafness Autosomal Recessive Type 77 Genetic Test

Genetic testing plays a crucial role in identifying and diagnosing various genetic conditions. One such condition is LOXHD1 gene deafness, also known as autosomal recessive type 77 (DFNB77). At DNA Labs UAE, we offer a comprehensive genetic test for LOXHD1 gene deafness, providing valuable insights into this condition.

Test Details

The LOXHD1 gene is associated with autosomal recessive type 77 (DFNB77) deafness. This means that in order to be affected by this condition, an individual must inherit two copies of the mutated LOXHD1 gene, one from each parent. Our Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology allows us to analyze multiple genes simultaneously, providing accurate and detailed results.

Pre Test Information

Prior to undergoing the LOXHD1 gene deafness test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. If the patient is also going for the SLC52A2 Gene Brown-Vialetto-Van Laere syndrome type 2 NGS Genetic DNA Test, a genetic counseling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by the SLC52A2 gene. This will help in understanding the inheritance pattern and identifying any potential risk factors.

Benefits of NGS Genetic Testing

NGS genetic testing allows for the identification of specific genetic mutations causing DFNB77. This not only aids in the diagnosis of individuals with LOXHD1 gene deafness but also provides valuable information for genetic counseling. Additionally, the results of the test can guide treatment options and interventions, ensuring personalized care for each patient.

At DNA Labs UAE, we are committed to providing accurate and reliable genetic testing services. Our state-of-the-art technology and experienced team of professionals ensure that you receive the highest quality results.

Test Details

The LOXHD1 gene is associated with a type of deafness known as autosomal recessive type 77 (DFNB77). This genetic condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, meaning that an individual must inherit two copies of the mutated gene (one from each parent) in order to be affected.

NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing refers to a type of genetic testing that uses advanced sequencing technologies to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the case of LOXHD1 gene deafness, an NGS genetic test would involve sequencing the LOXHD1 gene to identify any mutations or variations that may be causing the deafness.

By identifying the specific genetic mutation causing DFNB77, NGS genetic testing can help in diagnosing individuals with this condition, providing valuable information for genetic counseling, and potentially guiding treatment options or interventions.
