CATSPER2 Gene Deafness and Male Infertility
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer a genetic test for CATSPER2 gene deafness and male infertility. This test can help diagnose the cause of deafness and infertility in affected individuals and provide valuable information for genetic counseling and family planning.
Test Details
The CATSPER2 gene is responsible for encoding a protein that is crucial for sperm function. Mutations in this gene can lead to male infertility and deafness in affected individuals. Deafness associated with CATSPER2 mutations is typically sensorineural, which means it is caused by damage to the inner ear or the auditory nerve. This type of deafness is usually permanent and cannot be corrected with hearing aids or other devices.
In addition to deafness, mutations in the CATSPER2 gene can also lead to male infertility. The CATSPER2 protein is found in the tail of sperm cells and is involved in the regulation of calcium ions, which are essential for sperm motility and fertilization. Mutations in this gene can result in reduced sperm motility and an inability to fertilize an egg.

Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) Genetic Test
To diagnose CATSPER2-related deafness and male infertility, we perform a genetic test called Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS). NGS is a high-throughput sequencing method that allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes, including CATSPER2, to identify any mutations or variations that may be present.
NGS genetic testing can help determine the cause of deafness and infertility in affected individuals and provide valuable information for genetic counseling and family planning. It can also aid in the development of targeted treatments or interventions for those affected by CATSPER2 mutations.
It is important to note that genetic testing should be performed by a qualified healthcare professional or genetic counselor who can interpret the results and provide appropriate guidance and support.
