71355-2
LaboratorySLC26A5 gene c.-53-2A>G [Presence] in Blood or Tissue by Molecular genetics method
Definition
The solute carrier family 26, member 5 (SLC26A5) gene encodes Prestin and contains 21 exons. A single nucleotide change in the second intron, known as IVS2-2A>G (NM_198999.1:c.-53-2A>G), is associated with Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SNHL). This term was created for, but not limited to, Asper Biotech's Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SNHL) microarray testing for this mutation.
