What are the prerequisites for the test SLC26A4 Gene Analysis Test

  • Referral from a healthcare provider
  • Consent form signed by the patient or legal guardian
  • Complete medical history of the patient
  • Family history of hearing loss or related conditions
  • Results of previous hearing tests, if available

What are the measure values for the test SLC26A4 Gene Analysis Test

  • Positive: Mutation in the SLC26A4 gene detected
  • Negative: No mutation in the SLC26A4 gene detected
  • Indeterminate: Inconclusive results, further testing may be required

What does this test SLC26A4 Gene Analysis Test identify?

  • SLC26A4 Gene Analysis Test:
  • This test identifies mutations in the SLC26A4 gene, which is responsible for encoding a protein involved in the transport of ions in the inner ear and thyroid gland.
  • Individuals with mutations in the SLC26A4 gene may experience hearing loss and/or thyroid problems.
  • By analyzing this gene, healthcare providers can determine the presence of mutations that may be linked to certain medical conditions.
  • This test can help in diagnosing conditions such as Pendred syndrome and enlarged vestibular aqueduct syndrome.

Why is this test SLC26A4 Gene Analysis Test taken?

The SLC26A4 Gene Analysis Test is taken to identify any mutations or variations in the SLC26A4 gene, also known as the pendrin gene. Mutations in this gene are associated with Pendred syndrome and DFNB4, which are conditions that can cause hearing loss and balance problems. This test is typically recommended for individuals who have symptoms of hearing loss, especially if it is accompanied by balance issues or thyroid problems. By analyzing the SLC26A4 gene, healthcare providers can determine if a patient has a genetic predisposition to these conditions and provide appropriate treatment and management strategies.
