Hearing Loss Susceptibility GenoArray Diagnostic Kit is
designed for the rapid, high throughput screening of
known hotspot mutations related to hereditary hearing
loss. Thirteen mutations in four genes (GJB2, GJB3,
SLC26A4 and 12S rRNA) are evaluated simultaneously.
Knowledge of the mutations can help to identify hearing
impairment at birth, to avoid taking certain types of
antibiotics which are known to cause deafness in children
carrying certain gene mutations.
Detection of 13 mutations on the 4 most common genes related to hereditary hearing impairment
US patented “Flow-through Hybridization Technology”
Compatible for use with whole blood, cord blood, dried blood spot and amniotic fluid samples
Include amplification control (IC) and hybridization control (Biotin) for monitoring of the entire detection process
Rapid and accurate identification of mutations related to hereditary loss in one single test
Able to differentiate homozygous/ heterozygous carrier
Combined with conventional infant hearing test to provide a higher hearing loss screening coverage especially for the identification of delayed-onset genotype
Easy to operate with less than 1 hour hands-on time
Effective and cost-efficient
