The Connexin 26 Mutation Detection Test, available at DNA Labs UAE for 1830 AED, is a specialized genetic test designed to identify mutations in the GJB2 gene, which encodes the protein Connexin 26. This protein plays a crucial role in the formation of gap junctions, essential for cellular communication in various tissues, including the inner ear. Mutations in the GJB2 gene are a common cause of nonsyndromic hearing loss, making this test a vital tool for early diagnosis and management of individuals with hereditary hearing impairments. Conducted in a state-of-the-art laboratory, the test requires a simple DNA sample, typically obtained from a blood draw or a buccal swab, to analyze the genetic code for any anomalies associated with the Connexin 26 protein. This test not only aids in confirming a diagnosis but also assists in guiding treatment decisions and genetic counseling for affected families.

CONNEXIN 26 MUTATION DETECTION Test

Welcome to DNA Labs UAE, where we offer the Connexin 26 Mutation Detection Test at a cost of AED 1830.0.

Test Details

The Connexin 26 Mutation Detection Test is a genetic test used to identify mutations in the GJB2 gene, which codes for the connexin 26 protein. Mutations in this gene are associated with a condition called non-syndromic hearing loss, which is characterized by hearing loss that is not accompanied by any other physical abnormalities.

This test is typically performed on individuals who have been diagnosed with hearing loss, particularly in cases where there is no known cause for the hearing loss. It can also be used for carrier screening in individuals with a family history of non-syndromic hearing loss.

The test involves collecting a sample of DNA, typically through a blood sample or a cheek swab. The DNA is then analyzed to identify any mutations in the GJB2 gene.

The results of the test can help determine the cause of the hearing loss and guide appropriate management and treatment options.

It is important to note that the Connexin 26 Mutation Detection Test is just one of several genetic tests available for diagnosing non-syndromic hearing loss. Other genes, such as GJB6 and SLC26A4, may also be tested depending on the individual’s clinical presentation and family history.
