GJB2 Gene Knuckle Pads and Leukonychia Sensorineural Deafness Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the GJB2 Gene Knuckle Pads and Leukonychia Sensorineural Deafness Genetic Test at a cost of AED 4400.0. This test is designed to diagnose and identify mutations in the GJB2 gene that may be associated with sensorineural deafness, knuckle pads, or leukonychia.
Test Details
The GJB2 gene is responsible for encoding a protein called connexin 26, which plays a crucial role in the formation and functioning of gap junctions in the inner ear and skin. Gap junctions are specialized channels that allow the exchange of ions and small molecules between adjacent cells.
Mutations in the GJB2 gene can lead to various disorders, including sensorineural deafness, knuckle pads, and leukonychia. Sensorineural deafness refers to a type of hearing loss that occurs due to damage or malformation of the inner ear or auditory nerve pathways. Knuckle pads are thickened areas of skin that develop on the knuckles, and leukonychia refers to the presence of white spots or streaks on the nails.
Our GJB2 Gene Knuckle Pads and Leukonychia Sensorineural Deafness Genetic Test utilizes NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology, which allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes. By performing this test, healthcare professionals can determine if there are any mutations in the GJB2 gene that could explain the presence of these symptoms.

NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic test that uses high-throughput sequencing technologies to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the case of the GJB2 gene, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify mutations or variations in the gene that may be associated with sensorineural deafness, knuckle pads, or leukonychia. By performing NGS genetic testing on an individual, healthcare professionals can determine if there are any mutations in the GJB2 gene that could explain the presence of these symptoms.
