Understanding Your Results
Positive
Pathogenic variant detected in TBC1D24 gene. Indicates genetic cause for deafness.
Action: Consult geneticist for counseling and management options.
Negative
No pathogenic variant detected. Deafness may be due to other genetic or non-genetic factors.
Action: Consider additional genetic tests or clinical evaluation.
Variant of Unknown Significance
A variant with uncertain clinical significance.
Action: Genetic counseling recommended for further assessment.
Consult a doctor if you experience symptoms of hearing loss, have a family history of deafness, or receive a positive test result for further evaluation and management.
Limitations
- ⚠Does not detect all genetic causes of deafness
- ⚠May not identify variants of unknown significance
- ⚠Results require correlation with clinical history
- ⚠Not suitable for prenatal diagnosis without additional validation
Risks & Considerations
