📊

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.
