Sample Collection
Consult with a healthcare provider or genetic counselor to discuss test implications, family history, and obtain informed consent. No specific preparation is required, but bring relevant medical records.
Method: Venipuncture for blood; FTA card for dry blood spot
Laboratory Analysis
A blood sample is drawn from a vein in the arm using standard venipuncture, or a dry blood spot is collected on an FTA card. The process is quick and minimally invasive.
Report Delivery
Apply pressure to the puncture site to prevent bleeding. The sample is then sent to the lab for analysis. Resume normal activities unless advised otherwise.
Timeline: 3 to 4 weeks from sample receipt

Test Parameters & Specifications
Sample Stability
- Hemolyzed or clotted blood sample
- Insufficient sample volume
- Incorrect labeling or documentation
- Contaminated or degraded sample
Understanding Your Results
Pathogenic variant detected
Confirms diagnosis of RDX gene-related deafness; genetic counseling and management recommended for patient and family.
No pathogenic variant detected
No mutations in RDX gene found; consider other genetic or non-genetic causes of hearing loss.
Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)
Further testing or family studies may be needed; clinical correlation advised.
Consult a doctor or genetic counselor if you experience symptoms of hearing loss, have a family history of deafness, or after receiving test results for further guidance on management and family planning.
Limitations
- ⚠Test may not detect all possible variants in the RDX gene or other deafness-related genes
- ⚠Results require interpretation by a genetic counselor or clinician
- ⚠Does not assess for acquired causes of deafness
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risk from blood draw, such as slight pain, bruising, or infection at site
- ●Emotional impact of genetic results; counseling support provided
Interfering Factors
- ●Contaminated or degraded DNA sample
- ●Incorrect sample storage or handling
- ●Presence of inhibitors in blood sample affecting NGS sequencing
