CATSPER2 Gene Deafness and Male Infertility NGS Genetic DNA Test
Understanding CATSPER2 Genetic Testing
The CATSPER2 Gene Deafness and Male Infertility NGS Genetic DNA Test represents a breakthrough in reproductive medicine, offering comprehensive analysis of the CATSPER2 gene that plays a vital role in both male fertility and auditory function. This advanced diagnostic tool utilizes Next-Generation Sequencing technology to provide precise genetic insights for individuals and couples facing reproductive challenges.
What Does the CATSPER2 Gene Do?
The CATSPER2 gene encodes a crucial protein that forms part of the calcium channel in sperm cells. This channel is essential for sperm motility and the ability to fertilize eggs. Interestingly, mutations in this gene can also affect hearing function, creating a unique connection between reproductive health and auditory capabilities.
What the Test Measures and Detects
Our comprehensive NGS genetic analysis examines the entire CATSPER2 gene sequence to identify:
- Point mutations and single nucleotide variations
- Insertions and deletions affecting gene function
- Copy number variations and structural changes
- Pathogenic variants linked to male infertility
- Genetic markers associated with hearing impairment
Who Should Consider This Test
Clinical Indications and Symptoms
This genetic test is particularly recommended for individuals experiencing:
- Unexplained male infertility with normal hormone levels
- Abnormal sperm motility (asthenozoospermia)
- Family history of male infertility
- Congenital hearing loss or progressive hearing impairment
- Couples considering assisted reproductive technologies
- Individuals with both hearing issues and fertility concerns
Benefits of CATSPER2 Genetic Testing
