Understanding Your Results
Positive for pathogenic variant
Confirms MT-RNR1 gene deafness. Genetic counseling recommended.
Negative for pathogenic variant
No MT-RNR1 mutations detected. Consider other genetic or non-genetic causes.
Variant of uncertain significance
Further evaluation and family studies may be needed.
Consult a geneticist or ENT specialist if you experience progressive hearing loss, have a family history of deafness, or receive a positive test result.
Limitations
