LaboratoryHearing loss multigene analysis in Blood or Tissue by Molecular genetics method
Definition
Multigene analysis for both syndromic and non-syndromic forms of hearing loss. Genetic forms of hearing loss may be classified as autosomal dominant, recessive, X-linked or mitochondrial. Determining the cause of hearing loss, whether it is acquired or genetic, is useful for diagnosis, prognosis, and determining treatment options for the patient.[NCBI Books: NBK1434]
