Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic mutations in the CABP2 gene, which are associated with autosomal recessive deafness type 93.
📊

Positive

Pathogenic variant detected in the CABP2 gene, confirming diagnosis of autosomal recessive deafness type 93. Genetic counseling recommended.

📊

Negative

No pathogenic variants detected in the CABP2 gene. Clinical correlation is advised as other genetic or non-genetic causes may be present.

📊

Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)

A genetic variant was found but its clinical significance is unknown. Further testing and family studies may be needed.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If you experience symptoms of deafness, have a family history of genetic hearing loss, or receive a positive test result, consult a healthcare professional or genetic counselor for further evaluation and management.

Limitations

  • May not detect all possible mutations in the CABP2 gene
  • Requires genetic counseling for accurate interpretation
  • Results should be correlated with clinical findings

Risks & Considerations

How is the CABP2 Gene Deafness NGS Genetic Test performed?
The test uses Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) to analyze DNA from a blood sample, identifying mutations in the CABP2 gene.
What is the cost of the CABP2 Gene Deafness NGS Genetic Test in India?
The test costs INR 20000 at DNA Labs India, with free home sample collection available across many cities.
Is home sample collection available for this test?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection for online bookings in numerous cities across India.
How long does it take to get the test results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
What do the test results indicate?
Results show whether pathogenic mutations in the CABP2 gene are present, confirming or ruling out autosomal recessive deafness type 93.
Is the test covered by insurance?
Coverage varies by insurance plan. It is advisable to check with your insurance provider for specific details.
Who should consider taking this test?
Individuals with a family history of deafness, early onset hearing loss, or symptoms suggestive of genetic hearing loss should consider this test.
What are the symptoms of CABP2 Gene Deafness?
Symptoms include difficulty hearing speech, inability to hear high-pitched sounds, tinnitus, and balance problems, which may appear at birth or later in life.
How accurate is the NGS test for detecting CABP2 mutations?
NGS is highly accurate for detecting known mutations, but may not identify all possible variants. Genetic counseling is recommended for interpretation.
Can this test be used for prenatal diagnosis?
Prenatal testing may be possible through specialized genetic counseling, but this test is typically postnatal. Consult a genetic counselor for options.
What should I do after receiving the test results?
