The TMC1 Gene Deafness Autosomal Recessive Type 7 Genetic Test is a specialized diagnostic procedure available at DNA Labs UAE, designed to identify mutations in the TMC1 gene that are known to cause Autosomal Recessive Non-Syndromic Hearing Loss (ARNSHL). This particular form of hearing loss, also referred to as DFNB7/11, is characterized by a deficiency in hearing that can range from moderate to profound, typically identified in early childhood. The TMC1 gene plays a crucial role in the development and function of the inner ear, and mutations in this gene disrupt the normal auditory process, leading to hearing impairment.

Given the genetic nature of this condition, the test is particularly valuable for individuals with a family history of hearing loss, aiming to understand their genetic status or assess the risk of passing the condition to their offspring. It’s also a critical tool for early diagnosis in children showing signs of hearing impairment, allowing for timely intervention and management strategies to be implemented.

The test involves a simple blood draw or cheek swab, with the sample then analyzed in the state-of-the-art facilities at DNA Labs UAE. The cost of the test is set at 4400 AED, reflecting the comprehensive analysis and detailed reporting provided by the lab. Results from this test can offer crucial information for affected families, guiding decisions on management, treatment options, and genetic counseling.

TMC1 Gene Deafness Autosomal Recessive Type 7 Genetic Test

At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the TMC1 Gene Deafness Autosomal Recessive Type 7 Genetic Test. This test is designed to diagnose individuals with TMC1 gene deafness, also known as autosomal recessive type 7 (DFNB7) deafness. This type of genetic hearing loss is caused by mutations in the TMC1 gene.

Test Components and Price

The cost of the TMC1 Gene Deafness Autosomal Recessive Type 7 Genetic Test is 4400.0 AED. The test requires a blood sample, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.

Report Delivery and Method

After the sample is collected, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks. The test is performed using NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology, which allows for the analysis of multiple genes simultaneously.

Test Type and Doctor

The TMC1 Gene Deafness Autosomal Recessive Type 7 Genetic Test falls under the category of Ear Nose Throat Disorders. It is recommended to consult with an ENT doctor for this test.

Test Department and Pre Test Information

The TMC1 Gene Deafness Autosomal Recessive Type 7 Genetic Test is conducted in our Genetics department. Before undergoing the test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient who is going for CATSPER2 Gene Deafness and male infertility, CATSPER2 related NGS Genetic DNA Test. A Genetic Counselling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with CATSPER2 Gene Deafness and male infertility, CATSPER2 related NGS Genetic DNA Test gene CATSPER11.

Test Details

The TMC1 gene provides instructions for making a protein that is essential for normal hearing. Mutations in this gene can disrupt the function of the protein, leading to hearing loss. The NGS genetic testing for TMC1 gene deafness can identify these mutations and help diagnose individuals with this specific type of hearing loss. It also provides important information for genetic counseling, treatment, and management options.

In addition, the test can be used for carrier testing to determine if an individual carries a mutation in the TMC1 gene and has the potential to pass it on to their children.

It is crucial to note that the TMC1 Gene Deafness Autosomal Recessive Type 7 Genetic Test should be performed by a qualified healthcare professional or genetic counselor who can interpret the results and provide appropriate guidance and support.

TMC1 gene deafness, also known as autosomal recessive type 7 (DFNB7) deafness, is a type of genetic hearing loss caused by mutations in the TMC1 gene. The TMC1 gene provides instructions for making a protein that is essential for normal hearing. Mutations in this gene can disrupt the function of the protein, leading to hearing loss.

NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic test that uses advanced sequencing technology to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the case of TMC1 gene deafness, an NGS genetic test can identify mutations in the TMC1 gene that may be causing or contributing to a person’s hearing loss.

NGS genetic testing for TMC1 gene deafness can help diagnose individuals with this specific type of hearing loss and provide important information for genetic counseling, treatment, and management options. It can also be used for carrier testing to determine if an individual carries a mutation in the TMC1 gene and has the potential to pass it on to their children.

It is important to note that genetic testing for TMC1 gene deafness should be performed by a qualified healthcare professional or genetic counselor, who can interpret the results and provide appropriate guidance and support.
