Understanding Your Results

Results of the MYO1A Gene Deafness NGS Genetic Test indicate whether pathogenic mutations are detected in the MYO1A gene.
Positive result: Pathogenic mutation detected, confirming genetic cause of deafness.
Negative result: No pathogenic mutations detected, but genetic cause cannot be ruled out entirely.
Variant of uncertain significance: Further testing or family studies may be needed.
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a geneticist or ENT specialist if you have a positive result or if you experience worsening hearing loss.

Limitations

  • ⚠May not detect all genetic variants causing deafness
  • ⚠Results require interpretation by a geneticist
  • ⚠Does not provide information on non-genetic causes of hearing loss

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minimal risk from blood draw, such as bruising or infection
  • ●Psychological impact of genetic results

Interfering Factors

  • ●Sample contamination
  • ●Degraded DNA
  • ●Improper sample storage

It is a genetic test that uses next-generation sequencing to detect mutations in the MYO1A gene associated with autosomal dominant hearing loss.
Who should consider this test?
Individuals with a family history of hearing loss, symptoms of deafness, or suspected genetic cause of hearing impairment.
How is the sample collected?
A blood sample is collected via venipuncture, or extracted DNA can be used.
What is the cost of the test?
The test costs INR 20,000 in India, with home collection available at no extra charge.
Is fasting required before the test?
No, fasting is not required for this genetic test.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
What do the results mean?
A positive result indicates a pathogenic mutation in the MYO1A gene, confirming genetic deafness. Negative results suggest no such mutations, but other causes may exist.
Is the test accurate?
Yes, NGS technology provides high accuracy in detecting gene mutations, but interpretation should be done by a genetic expert.
Are there any risks involved?
The test involves a standard blood draw with minimal risks like bruising. Genetic results may have emotional implications.
Can insurance cover this test?
Coverage varies; it is advisable to check with your insurance provider. This test is not typically covered under government schemes.
What is autosomal dominant type 48 deafness?
It is a form of hereditary hearing loss caused by mutations in the MYO1A gene, where a single copy of the mutated gene can cause the condition.
