Understanding Your Results

Results are analyzed for mutations in the MYO7A gene. A positive result indicates a pathogenic variant associated with autosomal dominant deafness type 11, while a negative result suggests no detectable mutations in this gene.
📊

Positive

Pathogenic mutation detected, confirming genetic cause for deafness. Genetic counseling recommended.

📊

Negative

No pathogenic variants found in MYO7A gene. Clinical correlation advised.

📊

Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)

Mutation detected but clinical significance unknown; further testing may be needed.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if you experience symptoms of hearing loss, have a family history of genetic deafness, or receive a positive test result for further management.

Limitations

  • ⚠May not detect all types of mutations, such as large deletions or rearrangements
  • ⚠Results require interpretation by a genetic counselor
  • ⚠Limited to MYO7A gene; other deafness-related genes are not covered

Risks & Considerations

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

What are the symptoms of MYO7A gene deafness?
Symptoms include hearing loss (mild to severe), difficulty hearing in noisy environments, tinnitus, vertigo, and balance problems.
How is the test performed?
A blood sample or cheek swab is collected, and DNA is extracted and sequenced using NGS technology to analyze the MYO7A gene.
What is the cost of the test in India?
The test costs INR 20000, with free home sample collection available for online bookings.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection for this test across many cities in India.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically delivered within 3 to 4 weeks via online portal, email, or WhatsApp.
What do the test results mean?
A positive result indicates a pathogenic MYO7A mutation linked to deafness, while a negative result means no variants were detected. Genetic counseling is recommended for interpretation.
Is the test covered by insurance?
Coverage varies; check with your insurance provider. DNA Labs India does not guarantee coverage for schemes like PMJAY or CGHS.
Can children undergo this test?
Yes, the test is suitable for all ages, but genetic counseling is advised for minors to discuss implications.
What are the limitations of the test?
