The MYO7A gene plays a crucial role in the human body, particularly in the function of the inner ear and the retina. Mutations in this gene can lead to a condition known as autosomal dominant type 11 deafness, a form of hearing loss that is passed down through families. This condition affects the sensory cells […]
Understanding the genetic underpinnings of various conditions can empower individuals with knowledge and options for managing their health. Among these genetic conditions, MYH14 gene-related deafness, known as Autosomal Dominant Type 4, stands out due to its specific inheritance pattern and implications for affected families. This article delves into the symptoms associated with this condition and […]
Understanding TECTA Gene Deafness Autosomal Dominant Type 12 Deafness Autosomal Dominant Type 12, caused by mutations in the TECTA gene, is a form of genetic hearing loss. This condition primarily affects the inner ear, leading to varying degrees of hearing impairment. The TECTA gene plays a crucial role in the development and maintenance of the […]
— The CRYM gene is a critical genetic marker associated with Autosomal Dominant Type 40 Deafness, a condition that affects individuals across various ages. This type of hearing loss is distinguished by its genetic inheritance pattern, where only one copy of the altered gene, inherited from either parent, is sufficient to cause the condition. Understanding […]
Understanding the genetic underpinnings of hearing loss can significantly impact the management and treatment options available for affected individuals and their families. One such genetic condition is linked to the COL11A2 gene, which can lead to a form of hearing loss known as Deafness Autosomal Dominant Type 13. This condition underscores the importance of genetic […]
Deafness, a condition that affects millions of individuals worldwide, can arise from various causes, including genetic factors. One such genetic cause is linked to the POU4F3 gene, leading to a specific type of hearing loss known as Autosomal Dominant Non-Syndromic Sensorineural Deafness Type 15 (ADNSHL). Understanding the symptoms and the availability of genetic testing for […]
The MYH9 gene plays a crucial role in the human body, particularly in the development and function of several tissues, including those in the ear. Mutations in the MYH9 gene can lead to a condition known as MYH9-related disorder, which is a rare genetic disorder that affects various systems in the body, including the auditory […]
The ACTG1 gene plays a crucial role in the function and structure of inner ear cells, which are essential for hearing. Mutations in this gene can lead to a condition known as Autosomal Dominant Deafness Type 20 (DFNA20), a form of hearing loss that presents in varying degrees of severity and can affect individuals from […]
In the realm of genetic diagnostics, the evolution of testing methodologies has enabled the precise identification of syndromes that were once challenging to diagnose. Among these, Auriculocondylar syndrome type 2, a rare genetic disorder, has seen significant advancements in diagnosis thanks to the identification of its genetic basis. At DNA Labs UAE, we are at […]
Branchiootorenal (BOR) syndrome, also known as Branchiootic syndrome type 1, is a genetic disorder that affects the development of tissues in the neck and causes malformations of the ears and kidneys. This condition is attributed to mutations in the EYA1 gene, which plays a crucial role in the development of these organs. Understanding the symptoms […]
