Autosomal Recessive Nonsyndromic Hearing Loss via NGS and Sanger of the STRC Gene
Use
This test is intended for individuals with a clinical or suspected diagnosis of nonsyndromic hearing loss, especially those with a single heterozygous large deletion or conversion in the STRC gene, as well as reproductive partners of individuals with a known pathogenic variant in the STRC gene. The early and accurate detection of genetic variants in the STRC gene using both NGS and Sanger sequencing methods can help in the diagnosis and appropriate management of affected individuals.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
The test focuses on identifying pathogenic variants in the STRC gene. Variants outside the targeted regions may not be detected. Large deletions or duplications that do not directly involve the STRC gene may be missed. Analytical performance is contingent upon the quality and quantity of the submitted specimen.
