Understanding Your Results

Results from the EYA1 Gene NGS Genetic Test will indicate the presence or absence of mutations in the EYA1 gene, aiding in the diagnosis of Branchiootic Syndrome Type 1.
Detection of a pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant confirms a diagnosis of BOS1.
No pathogenic variant detected suggests BOS1 is unlikely, but clinical correlation is needed.
Variants of uncertain significance require further evaluation, such as family studies or functional analysis.
Genetic counseling is essential to discuss implications for family members and reproductive planning.
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a genetic counselor or ENT specialist if test results are positive, if symptoms persist, or for guidance on management and family screening.

Limitations

  • May not detect large genomic rearrangements or deep intronic mutations
  • Variants of uncertain significance (VUS) may be identified
  • Does not exclude other genetic causes of similar symptoms

Risks & Considerations

  • Minor pain or bruising at the blood draw site
  • Very low risk of infection or fainting
  • Psychological impact of genetic test results

Interfering Factors

  • Poor sample quality or contamination
  • Previous blood transfusions within the last 4 weeks
  • Improper sample storage or handling

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Branchiootic Syndrome Type 1 (BOS1)?
BOS1 is a rare genetic disorder characterized by hearing loss and abnormalities in the head and neck structures, caused by mutations in the EYA1 gene.
What causes BOS1?
BOS1 is caused by mutations in the EYA1 gene, which provides instructions for a protein involved in tissue development during embryonic growth.
How is BOS1 diagnosed?
Diagnosis involves clinical evaluation, hearing tests, imaging studies, and genetic testing to identify EYA1 gene mutations.
What is the EYA1 Gene NGS Genetic Test?
It is a Next-Generation Sequencing test that comprehensively analyzes the entire EYA1 gene for mutations to diagnose BOS1.
Who should consider this genetic test?
Individuals with symptoms like hearing loss, neck cysts, or family history of BOS1 should consider testing.
What is the cost of the test?
The EYA1 Gene Branchiootic Syndrome Type 1 NGS Genetic Test costs INR 20,000 at DNA Labs India.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection across numerous cities in India for this test.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically delivered within 3 to 4 weeks after sample receipt.
Are there any risks associated with the test?
The test involves minimal risks, such as minor bruising from blood draw; psychological counseling is recommended for result interpretation.
Can the test detect all mutations in the EYA1 gene?
NGS is highly comprehensive but may not detect certain large rearrangements; discuss limitations with a genetic counselor.
What if the test result is uncertain?
Variants of uncertain significance may require additional testing or family studies; consult a genetic specialist for guidance.
How do I prepare for the test?
No fasting is required. Ensure proper identification and inform the lab of any relevant medical history or medications.
